Just like every scientific invention brings a constructive change it also leaves some negative effects on human practices. No doubt the very busy person of today’s materialistic world with more challenges gets a good chance to have all kinds of information just in one click, while on the other hand he loses the pleasure of reading the detailed stories of the printed text. Sitting in front of a computer or TV does not please a person as compare to one who sits to read a newspaper near a river side or in a green garden with a cup of coffee.
But all that does not mean media has become the part of the past. People like me who have the time and source, will obviously prefer to read the newspaper.

Posters are used in academia to promote and explain research work. They are typically shown during conferences, either as a complement to a talk or scientific paper, or as a publication. They are of lesser importance than actual articles, but they can be a good introduction to a new piece of research before the paper is published. Poster presentations are often not peer-reviewed, but can instead be submitted, meaning that as many as can fit will be accepted.

Well, Internet has made the spread of the word and knowledge amazingly faster and easier. There are some advantages of electronic newspapers (and books). I have an Amazon Kindle, the e-book reader as well, and I regularly read Time, Newsweek and the Reader’s Digest on it, I surf inter net to check out Dawn.com, CNN.com, BBC.co.uk/Urdu among
others; but trust me, the pleasure of reading the Boston Globe in the actual paper form is something I highly value and enjoy. So, I think the print media has a definite bright future. Reading an actual newspaper is like watching a movie in the theater. Of course you can watch movies on your DVD player (or VCR, Cable, computer etc), but nothing will match the experience of a theater.

It seems true, with the passage of the time and the fluent use of internet, one can acess all the information, from the web rather than to purchase a newspaper.
As life is getting busy, everyone want to spend their little time to take more benefits, in the same way young professionals who wants to run with the flow of the society, get themselves updated by few clicks in a short duration of time.

Other benefits of E-papers are that, one can access the information remotely, from any site of the world.

Being ELectronics Engineer i will suggest that, the information provided to the web, must be provided a more user fiendly environment, to save time and not to feel bore at the time of reading news.

Yup, this seems quite true. As most of the competent writers are running their own blogs. The major reason is also the introduction of free and easy to use blog applications like blogger and wordpress. Good remuneration programs can stick good writers to newspaper but what about consumer they also love to see latest news online. Lets see what happens in coming years.

I think print journalism has its own importance; it is simply the addition of new tools due to the tremendous development in the field of technology.

Being from a journalism background my self, i understand that the issue being debated over here is a delicate issue.

Putting my ideas in one simple sentence, i can only say that the importance of newspapers and most essentially, news magazines like Newsweek, Time and Herald,
has only been reinforced.

It must be essentially noticed that media outlets like the Washington Post, New York times and even, the Dawn, actually derive most of their online content from the print versions.

the common readers and viewers fail to understand this thing that a major chunk of the infrastructure on which news media empires are based today, even in the Western world, is based upon newspapers and print media, not digitial or electronic media.

Another thing what the common readers and viewers dont understand is that the news media has two professional models, the journalism model and the business model.

Research shows that newspapers like the Boston Globe or the christian Science Monitor and others did not collapse because of a crisis of journalism, but they cllapsed because the business model was not right…

Have you ever thought that why amidst this talk of gloom doom, Rupert Murdoch was willing to spend a hefty $5.6 billion purchasing the Wall Street Journal???

Ans: murdoch knows that newspapers have a bright future, only if the journalism model is left on its own to adapt to technological changed, whereas the business model needs to be rectified further.

another key issue that needs to be raised, is that when circulations in the West are declining, those in the East, are actually increasing….

Newspaper circulations in India have grown by more than 50 per cent over the last five years, Pakistan has seen a relative circulation increase by at least up to 10 per cent a year. figures across the middle east show similar trends.

a lot depends on newspaper content as well, which again has become victim to the problematic business models being practiced these days

newspaper is still superior than web. In my view,anyone can have the indepth story always turn to newspaper rather web as i always prefer newspaper to web for indepth.newspaper also provides the better interpretation.

With thanx to Dawn for giving me this opportunity I must suggest that i began respecting this newspaper long before anyone dreamt of the web.
I’m sure a lot more people would enjoy reading Dawn on the web if Dawn’s website was more user-friendly & by that i mean only two things for the time being.
Firstly the url’s should be as short as possible and not as long as possible as they are right now. If the url’s of the forum and blog folders can be short why can’t they be short for the other folders too?
Secondly one should be able to move across the website with minimum resort to the mouse and maximum to the tab key.
I am taking this opportunity to remind Dawn that even the capitalists in America have begun to recognize that anarchists make the best web designers.
China, India, Japan etc have taken the lead in information technology because they relied primarily on open source software to begin with. India’s ambitious universal literacy plans are also being based upon open source, even in the mobile world.
