The newspapers were hardly getting used to the news being telecast on the television, when all of a sudden the creation of the web brought an essential blow to the newspaper industry. Most of the newspapers have not been able to withstand the onslaught of the net and have been forced into closure. Let us first see the basic distinction among the newspapers and e-news.

The advantages of online news are mainly for the readers. Several of these advantages are listed below.

The e-news is much faster than the newspapers. The moment something happens within any a division of the world it gets published on the internet within seconds. In the event of newspapers there is a specific time-limit for virtually every news to be reported in any particular newspaper. Suppose the newspaper goes for printing at midnight, anything that happens after midnight is going to most probably get published the next day. In these kinds of situation the newspaper offers stale news to the readers who have already accessed the internet news blog.

Any newspaper get published once, 2 times or maximum thrice a day. Alternatively e-news usually gets updated several times in twenty four hours.

If one has accesses to the web, one does not have to wait for the delivery man to deliver the newspaper.

The online news has some disadvantages but those are mainly for the newspaper publishers. The rates of subscriptions and ads are substantially reduced in case of online news. This implies that as the number of readers of online news increases the revenue generation of the newspaper publisher is falling drastically.

You will discover just a few ways that the newspapers can resort to for surviving the blow of the e-news. Some of the newspapers charge subscription to the readers that like to read more than what will be provided for free. There is just a link for "more" which may be activated and operational after paying some subscription charges. In the event that you do not pay the subscription the "more" link can't be activated.

Most of the newspaper publishers have realized that should they want the newspaper to survive they have to publish the newspaper in print as well as online via the internet.
