ONLINE MEDIA VS PRINT MEDIA


Are we adapting to social media that we forget about print media

Print media nowadays seem to be buried away source:link this
The world nowadays is changing and with change there is great disadvantages, nowadays online media is seen as not useful to the people because technology has introduced access to the media news that is available in the print media. The change in this media can really create loss of jobs for employees.

Music industries and other organisation are adapting the technology and social media, this causes many debate if online media will replace the print media and does this mean that the print media is useless or are they not used by organisations, if press releases are not also used to create exposure for your organisation or artist will online media or social media do that?
  

Some few online media and print media

  • Newspapers vs online news
  • Press release vs Twitter
  • Photojournals vs Facebook photos
  •  
With the question asked I think the reason why social media has been used is because as technology is being introduced in organisations it creates an interactive communication that can be analysed in no time. By using technology means that we are being proactive and effective by adapting and not perishing. But I recommend that organisations should use both media because even though new media is being adapted other audience or stakeholders still prefer to have the hardcopy.
