Description
The paper "Newspapers and Internet" deals with the huge difference that technology has created in the approach of public toward the source of their daily information. It examines the changes that the hardcopy newspapers have experienced in order to be able to keep pace with the development of technology. Nevertheless, it deals also with, the new forms of reaching out the readers, the newspapers' future and the path they need to follow in order to controvert predictions about a total end of the printed media. Moreover, subject to the research are also the substantial changes that need to be made by newspapers, the impact of such changes to what is known as traditional journalism, the brunt that the professional journalism will bear, the efforts to save it in front of the "quick and single-source journalism", and other aspects related to the issue.
For the purpose of the study, a survey has been conducted with professionals and ordinary citizens, who were asked to tell how well they were informed about the events, the sources/medias they get information from, the reasons why they read more newspapers than news portals or the other way around. Nevertheless, subject of the survey were also why the process of buying a newspaper has been replaced by reading on their phones or other electric devices, the type of the news and the rubrics they prefer to read, the "sweet deception" they come across in the "new journalism," and other issues related to the newspapers and internet.
