Will the print industry survive?

The print industry will inevitably die out because there are so many other forms of media that are currently replacing it. The Internet is such a large source of information and knowledge nowadays. The radio broadcasts daily news 24/7. Television and cable screens countless news networks that are now viewed by millions of people around the globe. CNN, BBC, FOX News are a few examples of worldwide known news programming networks. Social issues, entertainment, and political news have all become accessible with a simple click on the computer’s mouse or on the TV’s remote control.

With all this new technology, would someone still go out to a newspaper stand and buy the new month’s or week’s edition? Most of us don’t because it is in our nature to use easier means to get what we want. Connecting to the Internet or turning on your TV is faster, cheaper, and easier than buying an ink-printed product. Therefore, with time digital Media will overcome printed Media.
