Trash Your Newspaper! Real News Will Be Online
Topics: Wailea, Makena, Real Estate, Maui, Hawaii, condos, homes, houses
Someday you may want to retire. You will want to live out the rest of your days on a beach off the coast of Wailea and Makena, ready to forget the stress of work and live the sunset of your life the way you want to - wearing nothing but a shirt and shorts, laying out on a beach chair relaxing in the sun, cut off from the outside world.
When that day comes, you will not want to turn on your television and watch the 24-hour cable news network’s - stations designed to scare you into watching them more. They will just provide you with the same stress you have been attempting to avoid. Instead, you will want to pick up a newspaper and read about the rest of the world.
But by the time you retire, that may not be possible.
Newspapers and the Internet
The Internet has caused a change in the Newspaper industry. No longer do people feel the need to pay for a newspaper when they can sign online and read the news for free. This change has caused newspapers to either convert to online media, providing their newspapers at little to no cost, or they will have to find other ways to get people to read their papers.
It is these other methods that you should worry about.
Because of the wave of Internet news, newspapers and magazines that are not currently offered online, have begun using the same tactics as the 24-hour news stations. They have begun posting stories with far less investigation and far less facts/research in order to present stories to their readers that cause them to experience a fear that keeps them glued to the page, awaiting the next news article in the next issue.
Newspapers have begun to become the same low-quality garbage as the television they were completing against, trying and failing to be a place of interest for the modern consumer.
By the time you retire, if you expect to read any real news, you are going to have to sign online.
The Internet
But when one door closes, another opens, and this conversion to online media has several benefits. For example, now that classified ads are less commonly printed, it moves these same deals and discounts to the Internet - where they can be better searched, sorted, and compared (with pictures) in order to make a better decision about a purchase.
Similarly, if one reads a newspaper opinion piece about a particular topic, rather than trusting the information the individual provides, you can search the internet for opposing viewpoints and begin to make more informed decisions. This allows for a more educated populace, one that is informed about both sides of an issue and has weighed them before coming to a personal conclusion.
Also, because you have the opportunity to search for articles of interest, you can easily ignore the articles you have no interest in reading, and these articles did not waste any paper. You can wade through only the pieces of writing you care to read, and find more about the same topics in order to inform yourself better over time.
Finally, you can search for a newspaper that you know to be trustworthy. Many large newspapers have been purchased by large corporations that promote a specific agenda. There have been long histories of newspapers that have chosen to purposely omit useful information or purposely skip researching a fact’s truth in order to promote the ideas of the newspaper’s owners. Because the Internet is such a vast community, you can find an independent newspaper that you know you can trust, in order to find the real news without any journalistic spin.
Conclusion
The word ‘newspaper’ becomes a contradiction in itself. Once printed, they are now ‘old’ news and can’t be updated. They are no longer ‘news’.
Still, not all of these changes will be positive. Internet media also has the ability to lie, since it tends to be more anonymous. And the constant updating of these online media websites causes articles to be rushed, so the writing quality is not as high as when the article pieces have an entire day to be read through and edited.
But these drawbacks are minor, and the online media truly is the wave of the future.
So, when you retire someday, and you’re sitting in your beach home in Wailea or Makena, wanting to find out about the happenings of the world, make sure you have a laptop and wireless Internet, because soon there may be no newspapers for you to curl up with on your front porch.
