Print Media's Relevance as a News Source Is Waning

Print Media's Relevance as a News Source Is Waning | Writing about Life in the digital age | Scoop.it

gAccording to data published by the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, very few people consider print newspapers their main source of news anymore. Today's most important news sources are television and online media, with social networks taking on an increasingly large role in people's news consumption. 

 

As people turn to other media outlets as their primary source of information, print newspapers are probably best advised to accept their new role and focus on their core strengths, which are local reporting, investigative journalism and in-depth analyses of national and global affairs.

 

This chart shows which news sources people from five different international markets consider the most important one to them personally....

I guess, the time has come to accept that the days of print media are numbered! Anyway, one thing leads to another, take for example the times when the Guru or the teacher had everything in his mind. Then came the time when paper and pens became common and teachers began to note down their ideas. This was taken over by the print media. Now we have the electronic media/digital media! What matters in all cases is communication or cognitive sharing of ideas. I guess the electronic media will be replaced by some other mode of cognitive communication!

This is an interesting collection of views and predictions regarding the future of journalism in the year 2015, I personally feel that 2015 will see the rise of what is called as, 'Citizen Journalism'. Opinions on social networking sites will affect journalism to a great degree. I hope, also that 2015 will see a more responsible reportage, and an avoidance of sensationalism that seeks to drive readership ratings.
