Newspaper and “E-newspaper”, different material, different result.

 By：Panda team(Nick Cao & John Zheng & Hassan Zeinab & Lucas Zhang)



Let me show you the conclusion firstly.

The fundamental reason for the decline of the newspaper industry is that the delivery model has changed and newspapers have not kept up with this change. How did this happened?

In the past, newspapers were monopolistic media, and advertisers were interested in their unique channel, readers are also need a resource of news. So both readers and advertisers were interested in newspaper.

After the development of the Internet, the disadvantages of newspaper, or papers, were shown, it is slow, heavy, more expensive. And internet websites are instantaneous, charge-free, no weight, and watch it or not, when to watch it, that depends on you, you don’t need to waiting for newsboy. So the newspapers lost favor at the same time also lost a lot of income.

With the net Internet website gradually into people's lives, accepted by the public, the network seems to carry the mainstream information of this era, whether from the traditional media or now the things known as media convergence, they have crossed from the former paper media to the current full media.

For example, New York times, used to be a traditional newspaper media, a lot of important news of America will be published by them, but now they have variety types of media: blogs, Youtube channel, twitter, website, application and so on.

The transformation of traditional media to the present is slowly transformed step by step with the needs of social development, in order to make the public accept, let the news become interesting, become more receptive, the media has made a huge change, although the traditional media communication channels is gradually change, but the final unchanged is the content contained in the news. Maybe many people believe that the decline of the traditional newspaper industry is the inevitable result of the digital age. But I believe that newspapers are only a carrier of quality content. And the decline of the paper media is more of an advantage; we have reduced the consumption of large amounts of paper, which means less forest resources. As technology advances, quality content will be presented to the public through screens. The transformation of traditional newspapers to e-newspapers is a typical example of media convergence. As a journalist, what remains the same is the attitude of responsibility to the public for every piece of news.

The role of journalism In the development growth and decline of cultural phenomena

By Zeinab Hassan       For years, it has been described how the digital revolution is undermining the importance of the media. But only recently have these effects become practically tangible and invisible. The classical media have lost their monopoly in many ways, their role as gatekeeper. They are no longer the only ones sending information to a large-scale audience - now everyone can post news. The media is no longer alone in controlling what information goes to the general public - everyone can get information from a wide variety of sources.    Journalists are no longer even the only ones who solely determine what news is important and widespread - this is what the algorithms of companies like Google or Facebook are now doing.    And as if the loss of meaning, power, and influence weren't bad enough. There is still a loss of income and hence resources for the production of high quality journalism that could prove that they are unique or irreplaceab...

By:   Bernarda Vasquez   |   Said El Marda   |   Yara Hasan   |   Papiya Mondal —---- Media has received the status of being the 4th pillar of democracy. Any government needs the judiciary, executive and legislative powers to run side by side with the media. However in some cases the media can get a lot of power and influence the population since they control the information. Both the US and Russian media have been accused of this action, but from different perspectives. Below will be an overview of the operation of the media industry and its stakeholders in each country, as well as its challenges and opportunities in the new digital era.
