Lol, my brother, read my post again. Those that sell/hawk newspapers are the vendors. They can be bloggers online, reposting news items and promoting them, just like bloggers do... It's still the same thing. The only difference is that you get paid via Ads online...

I made an example using Nairaland. You read this report (of Thecable newspaper) via Nairaland (kind of online vendor).. Other bloggers (vendors) have also reported this same report (of Thecable).. Now they drive traffic to their site by promoting it, and other "news items" on social media, thereby driving traffic to their sites.. They are paid for this traffic (we are the traffic) via Ads..

Hope you understand now?

God bless Nigeria.
So a newspaper vendor can turn to blogging?He buys newspapers and posts the stories on his blog?
I ask u again.Do you know what a newspaper vendor mean.If u don't know what it means, then you would continue arguing the way u are doing,like an uneducated person.

My brother, thecable is the source of this info which you read via Nairaland. Other bloggers are also reporting it... They are the online "vendors".... They get paid via Ads. You have to be creative.

Before you know it the useless government can come another breaking news that they have ban all social media news because newspaper is not selling again. Like they did to cryptocurrency. They don’t know we’re in digital world. But they choose to be in the manual world they are use to. Like they want us to investing in cowtocurrency instead on cryptocurrency.

My brother, if you read my first post, you'll see where I called those "illiterates" who refused to learn and evolve "lazy".. The world is going digital, and anyone who, by now, hasn't learnt the basics will only have themselves to blame, not me... Not technology. So your "illiteracy" excuse is baseless. Creating blogs these days is extremely easy.

Again, you should go through my posts and also do research on "blogging" , "traffic" and "monetization" ... Once you do, you'll begin to "see my point"... The internet is here to stay. Either you evolve and go with the flow, or you go out of business. No room for laziness!

God bless Nigeria.

Almost all sector is going Digital, if you no upgrade, don't blame others. This is just the same case with that of CBN banning the purchase of cryptocurrency with naira. If you don't upgrade, people go leave you behind.

The newspapers can save their business if they want. They started destroying themselves by uploading their news contents to digital forms without restrictions like Western print media do. If they charge readers a certain amount to access their digital news contents, a lot of people will switch back to buying newspapers.

This has also negatively affected Lagos-Ibadan brown envelope journalists cos there is scarcity of brown envelopes.
Now,everybody with as little as a cheap China phone is a reporter,the narrative is no longer controlled by a gang.
We now know which tribe is the most intelligent,who does money ritual most etc as against the lies peddled for decades by amala and gbegiri brown envelope journalists grin

Except for specialist publications like StearsBusiness and BusinessDay, Nigerians are poor people to subscribe to Punch or Guardian NG. Besides, what's the comparable quality between The Punch and The Telegraph? Guardian NG and The Economist? They've to remodel their business practices or risk going into extinction.

They are both correct, try not to harp into mentions when you're uncertain about the corrections you're making.

How do we get information if they go into extinction?
As it is, they are not even providing adequate information, especially historical archives for research and fact-checking.

And in ur myopic mind, you think every newspaper vendor is educated to the point of being a blogger? Distributing newspapers is different from being a news editor,reporter or a publisher.Take notice of that.
