Advantages: opinions

Disadvantages: old news

Before TV and internet newspapers were very important in people's lives. This was the only way to find out news. Print media was king. Newspapers still are very important but the power of the newspaper columnists and editors is withering away. Obviously people want the latest news and this is provided by News Channels and internet sites. Newspapers have internet sites too. Some require registration some are free.

When internet hit the world. People thought that is it for the newspapers. Who is going to buy them? This theory was wrong and people continue to purchase newspapers.

All the newspapers have changed and offer more to the consumer. Newspapers come with freebies, magazines, TV times etc.

In my case I buy newspapers because it is something in front of you like a book. When there is a newspaper in front of me I might read it, put it down and start again when there is nothing else to do.

Newspaper is interesting to read because you get personal opinions of journalists on matters which are important.

I don't regard The Sun and other gutter press as newspapers. In this type of publications everything is sensationalised to sell large volumes.
