You can still trust newspapers for FACTUAL NEWS. Social media contains too much FAKE NEWS.

Newspapers would improve your grammar. Bloggers don't take writing seriously.

If you want to be a good writer, read newspapers esp Guardian and Thisday.
But these newspapers have their online platform. One can read daily news from there. The paper won't be necessary.

If you want to be a good writer, you either read books or go to school. Btw, those newspapers are also online.

the online content is optimized for devices, there's less content in order to improve speed. lots of in-depth articles aren't online. the online version only has the advantage of being real-time.

aside books, newspapers are most important. I learnt nothing from my English teachers.

Hmm The newspaper industry is dying but the smart ones will not. The world is changing so also is the way we do things and live our lives. Unlike before where people only depend on newspaper as their only source of information, gone are the days , with the introduction of social media, online magazines, blogs, vlogs, newsletters she emails and above all your smart phones, you could get all these within minutes without blinking an eye.
Also i find newspaper naturally boring because of their nature of writing, too many words for an article that could have been summarised into few words and you will still get the message. I guess they do this to make the papers full. Thats why now so many newspaper industry have woken up to reality that linda ikeji back then when she doesn't have anyone working with her reaches more people and also make more money than all of them combined.
Anyways if you want to get your business online contact me for your website design visit www.leksmediaconcept.com or call 08173091370

and yet the likes of new york times,washinton post, dailymail are making millions or billions of dollars every year despite been in the United states the hub of the internet and social media.
i believe it has more to do with our character than technology

With the advent of social media and online news
Newspaper are one day late eg Social media is one day ahead
Reading Newspaper is like reading recycle news.
But those that have no access to internet should hang on to newspaper.
Most newspaper get their information from the net. tongue

To save cost, all Federal ministries/agencies should stop giving managers newspapers daily. They have computers (even though some of them don't know how to use it) and phones with data subscription which is paid by the government. Why give them 3 different newspapers daily? Is it that their work for the day is to read news or what? They have television also in their offices. We are just wasting money in this country


Social media will do to newspaper what email did to post office.
social media is not controlled and some stories are fake. Newspapers will not risk their brand to post false story cos it might backfire. You can't even present a social media story as an evidence in court.

Newspapers made sway in the 70s,80s,90s and even early 2ks but with the advent of the social media,I have lost every appetite in reading daily newspapers ,this is why;
I do virtually everything online,for example.....I got the info that buhari will be back on the 19th via the internet but the newspapers didn't even have that info until 20th,so tell me why I should patronize vendors if I get the news before them......

This is just my own opinion ,I know you have something to say ,i want to know your opinion on this matter.

even in America, newspapers houses still make huge sales
