Newspapers

What is the difference between newspapers and their websites? Which one is more convenient, and which one is more preferred? The first thing that comes to mind when it comes to the differences between the two is money. Although paying for online subscriptions is something that may come about in the future that is not the case for the time being. Why pay for the Newspaper every day or week or month when you can go online and get all the information you want for free? The bottom line is that more people are finding out that is they don't need to pay to read the stories then they won't. Another difference is convenience of actually holding the newspaper. This is based completely on preference of the person reading. Some prefer the old fashioned, relaxing way of sitting down with the newspaper and reading it at their leisure. On the other hand some people want their information right away and they don't want to fuss around with a bulky newspaper. The last difference I want to address is the speed of the internet compared to the paper. If you want to get a certain piece of information from a newspaper it is much faster to just click to it then fuss with the newspaper.
