This Blog was something that was very informative. The main points in the beginning of the blog was very helpful. It gave so many examples of why online news was easier to access than a newspaper.
The main purpose of this blog was to explain how online news was better than a newspaper. The point that stood out to me the most was how quickly news can be online and how fast it can travel around the world.
With technology on the rise the demand to know something the minute it happens is very high. TMZ founder Harvey Levin stated that everyone wants their news and want it fast. When Michael Jackson died TMZ was the first to announce the news. He reportedly died at 2:26 pm LA time. TMZ had the story posted at 2:51 pm. http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2009/jun/26/michael-jackson-tmz-scoop Under a half hour the news that Michael Jackson had passed was reported online and the world knew within that same day.
Another point that was also important was the fact that people are allowed to comment on online news and give feedback. This is very essential because news is for the people, If you are getting comments on how helpful the coverage of a news story was, or what could have been done better then its helping you work on the how to understand what your readers want, and how to cover it.
I agree that online news is better than a newspaper. This blog was able to confirm it by its points and examples that were given.
