Future for Newspaper

Introduction

The news is a fact, an event that is reported to be of interest to a group of people. To decide what is news and what is not, should take into account the historical moment (ie, the context in which events occur), the public and, especially, the significance of what is happening and the impact that can result in the community, that is, a fact that might be news in the past (such as the near extinction of the pink dolphins) is no longer present, even though it remains true and important.

This audience appears to use the Internet as a source of information when making crucial decisions. According to the Pew Internet & American Life Project, 45% of Internet consumers (about 60 million Americans) say that “the Internet facilitated them craft life-size verdicts or discuss their way during major events in their lives in the previous two years” (Horrigan, 22).

Though the Internet and traditional media have characteristics in common, they differ in at least two main ways. First, because the Internet is an interactive medium, searching is the most important difference between the Internet and traditional media.
