Print vs. Digital

         Print media is slowly dying and more and more news companies are moving toward digital ways to inform their readers. Most of rolling stone news topics have been moved onto the internet and a lot of other palate forms behind them as well. Rolling stone has made some big advances to become more technologically involved in the new era. They have started a email newsletter where you get an email if anything impotant has gone on. I’m order to stay relavent to the readers they must keep up with current events and readers even if that means digitalizing everything. The media is so commonly used and at everyone’s fingertips so it’s so convenient and smart that rolling stone decided to switch over. With that being said print should not be eliminated forever because the internet isn’t a guaranteed thing it could be shut down at any minute, therefore paper news would still need to be relevant. I believe there will always be a need for printed news and it won’t be completely gone because you have a good percentage of people who don’t use media and would need the printed news to get their information. There is always a possibility that the internet could shut down and leave everyone without knowing current events but if paper news was still around there would always be a way to get to the news and not by relying on a source that isn’t guaranteed. Digital users differ from print users because reading the news is a healthier way to go. It helps jog your brain why keeping up to date with current events, unlike media users their is never a sure fire way to make sure you are getting correct information from social media. Digital users typically have less credible sources than those who use printed media.
