Challenges Faced by the Print Media 1.changing lifestyle - People are working longer hours and the demands of todays lifestyles are causing people to get what they need quickly, whether it be food to the news. People will look up anything they need and will get what they want without having to leave their computer. Our main source of information in past decades was print media, radio and t.v, now most tv networks have their own web sites for news which are updates minute by minute causing news to travel faster.
2. Better Advertising elsewhere With the print media in total decline and fewer people picking up a news paper, this is causing many advertising companies to look else where to take their products or jobs etc to be broadcast. This as a result is casing news paper companies to loose money and as a back lash have to increase their prices for advertisement, which is doing nothing good but only making less companies use print media. ( The example I used for this is at the last article at the bottom of the blog)
3. Technology - People do not need to leave their house or office to find out instant news. With todays technology such as the computer, iPad, Facebook, twitter, phones etc. People can easily find out what ever they want and with little trouble. Many thing people do iowa days such as communicate, apply for work etc is made much easier allowing people to broaden their communication.
Another problem facing print media and journalist is that with all this new technology which anyone can access, it is allowing anybody to write up news and not be a professional writer for a company. Millions of random every day people can post their own news and pictures on such web sites as twitter which is then viewed by millions.
