The internet may replace newspapers soon
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Naseem Javed, a world authority on global name identities and domain issues, discusses how the traditional media is losing its power to the internet. He says printed news is becoming too costly and cannot keep up with the immediacy of the internet.
It is my belief that Benjamin Franklin, were he alive today, would throw off his visor and scream at the transition occurring currently from a print-society to a cyber one.
That's how the power of knowledge and influence was fertilized in the broadsheets, sprinkled though the elite gossip machines and eventually picked by the commoners.
Much later, or only a decade ago, most newspapers, weighty and tossed at every second doorstep, still carried the germination of well-branded ideas, and still carried the power to keep our societies glued.
But today, embedded in a new cyber-society, newspapers are known to carry nothing but yesterday's old news with fresh ink.
Second, they resisted Web sites as cop-outs to the new medium of the Internet Get Linux or Windows Managed Hosting Services with Industry Leading Fanatical Support., and demanded outrageous fees, but later succumbed to free deals.
The noble concept of growing trees and pulping them to make paper and to further go through another 1,000 steps to bring that branch of the tree into tabloid shape to be inked, read, and further recycled is dead.
Last Rites The so-called media barons and the newspapermen controlling the governments are becoming almost mythical.
This will result in a change from selected media-barons to masses of new information-barons controlling the information pulse.
Today, the newspaper can't deliver branding and marketing messages effectively and the business has become very expensive.
In my view, the new generation has no appreciation or even understanding of the entire process of news distribution.
Lastly, there is one positive aspect of the cyber-society, and that is, the truth is often simple and very straightforward.
Finally, we're seeing the manipulative and intentionally deceptive slants in newswriting to be rejected by the masses.
