One of the benefits of modern media is the use of the latest
technologies has changed the speed of relaying information to different
parts of the world. Decades ago the catch phrase was the latest news;
today the popular phrase is breaking news because people received the
latest news by the hour, every hour. Unlike ages before, people received
news days or weeks after the incident occurred. Before, it was plain
global news, at present it has become more specific using phrases such
as Islam news, culture news, middle east new, and online news to name a
few. Due to internet the world has been getting smaller and people get
easy access with latest news development. It is a welcome development as
people will be able to digest specific information easily.
Online
technologies have allowed people to search and received news
developments at a click of a mouse. And not only that, they can type
specific key words such as gulf news, international business news, and
middle east news to arrive easily at the web pages they want
immediately. Long ago, newspaper readers' patience has to be tested
before they can read latest Muslim news, Islamic news, and Middle East
News. The search bar features have slimmed down time constraint of
accessing specific news to readers. In addition, some functions of these
sites has exposed readers to links that give related information of the
events.
Readers have to skim from different pages to find one
article about world business news. Oftentimes, readers have skipped the
news that they want to read as it is buried in the inside pages. In
addition, newspapers then do not provide in depth analysis of events
that unfolded during that time. Online editions have categorized
different news items such as world business news, international business
news, news in middle east, and Islamic news, to give more details as
the event progresses every seconds of the day. And because of these
readers have are better informed and are more clarified with the issues.
The
internet has further created additional source of information for
everybody. The web does not host online editions of major newspapers. It
is home to websites and blogs that concentrate on specific news
categories. Thus, you have sites for Islam news only, blogs for culture
news, and webpages that caters only gulf news. In addition, thousands of
articles that deals specifically with topics like Islamic news,
international business news, and middle east business news, just to name
a few are easily accessible. It gives readers of more objective and
detailed information of specific interest.
It has been predicted
before that the web will replace newspapers as major source of current
events information. This is the reason why newspapers have invaded the
web to benefit from this development. At present, both off line and
online versions are available for everybody. It is not yet definite if
land base newspapers will suffer extinction just like the dinosaurs of
long ago. At any rate, people are still enjoying both versions.
