The Importnace of The Newspaper

We live in a digital age. This begs the question of why we need to support print newspaper. Reason? It took me a while to answer this inquiry.

As a western society it's our nature to follow trends including the electronic and online ones. Fact of the matter is that people like myself sometimes forget the importance of daily print news. It serves a purpose as a link to the non-electronic world. Take away every known electronic device that everyone relied upon over the last twenty odd years and you forget how to manage.

Living in an electronic age has it's flaws and far from perfect. For as long as we confine ourselves to these convince devices, we are the slaves that rely on the service which it provides. Online news comes from various networks of information. But local news informs the communities around the city. This is how a community area stays informed with the changing world around them, outside the online world.

Not everyone in the world is part of the digital age or the ongoing trends. Everything in the online community is different than the little part of the world around us. Although the source of information is changing, the purpose for being informed stays the same no matter the format. Print media shouldn't be a forgotten medium but embraced with the changing times.
