I like your post about newspapers in today's modern world. Whether we like it or not, newspapers are disappearing off of our kitchen tables and are being replaced with the latest technology. The internet is the most practical and quickest way to stay up to date with news and current events. However, it is not always the most accurate or credible place to get your information. The internet cannot always be trusted which can present some problems. The internet is an interesting place where you want to trust everyone, but can actually only trust a limited amount of sources.
Writing for the internet can turn into a whole new world for some individuals. According to James Glen Stovall, author of Writing for the Mass Media, writers for the Web must concentrate on efficiency, simplicity, and tone. Those who get their information from the internet can choose to get their information anywhere on the Web, so it is important to draw the reader in and make them want to stay. This can be a difficult task for some writers, which is why some of them end up not being the best writers they can be. Credible websites for newspapers like the New York Times have writers who have mastered this technique and are extremely credible. Other websites like Wikipedia have turned writing for the Web into a joke and are very untrustworthy.
Being able to get the news on the internet has made the newspapers really start to evaluate themselves. It is important for writers every where to stay accurate and credible. This is a challenge for some writers for the Web since they do not have to be experts or do not have someone checking over everything they do. The internet is a strong competitor for newspapers and will probably one day over run them, but newspapers will most likely always have the most accurate stories money can buy.
