Online vs. Print Media

I don’t truly make a distinction between online and print media because I expect the same exact information to be on both. If I look at the Pilot Online (Norfolk, VA) or the Atlanta Journal Constitution, I expect it to have the same, but more updated, news stories as is printed on the newspaper at my doorstep in the morning. I think that there has to be an advantage for online media because it is more time-sensitive. Online sites are updated by IT people all day, everday. This is something that you can not do with print media. I do however still respect print media and enjoy its ability to be transported, unlike a computer.

  1. The only catch is: can web-based media be viable when we're not selling the medium (the paper and ink)?
