As it was expected, newspapers, and any other form of printed information started taking second place when people started having access to the internet. Although at first it was just computers, now everyone has laptops, iPads or phones they can use and get a pretty good connection. This is what made e-books and electronic versions of magazines so popular. Still, as you might have noticed, newspapers are not as far away, as most newspapers have an electronic version now. As a result, in what technology is concerned they`ve done their part. Still, people don’t seem to take the time to actually download the only version and read it. Even if some versions don`t need downloading, the electronic version doesn`t seem to have as much fans as the traditional one? So, as this definitely surprises anyone, it makes you wonder why do we still read the traditional newspaper? Once you start adding different reasons up, you will wonder why you ever had that question.
Newspapers are being read all over the world and they have slowly become a part of us. How many of you had a part time job as you were children, delivering newspapers in your neighborhood? How many of you remember you father`s having their coffee and reading the morning newspaper? Just think about how many people go to work, holding the morning newspapers under their arm. You think they don`t have computers at home? The newspaper has played an important role in people`s lives, no mater what social class thy were, or what job they had. You can see a construction worker and a business man holding the same newspaper. Yes, newspapers call to everyone, and people buy them, read them, subscribe to them and wait for the next morning one. The newspaper is an amazing thing as it managed to stay popular besides the evolution in the information field. It has always had basic quality, no shine pages, no colored pictures and it still manages to have millions of subscriptions. Of course there are more popular ones than others, but the newspaper in general is a great proof that people stick to what they like and to what they think is good.
Although most people would think so, newspapers and magazines don`t belong in the past as we still love to have them around. We love to take out a newspaper in the subway, we love to have a magazine while we take the train or sit by the pool. People need to hold them in their hands, turn the pages, and feel the smell in order to have a good experience. There`s nothing like the smell of a new magazine. Plus, they sometimes come with different gifts for the buyers. Whether it is a small shampoo or a perfume sample, people love getting these small gifts and they even rush to buy them. You can get local news in newspapers. The internet is international, but the newspaper is more restricted to what people in a certain area think to be important. They like reading the news, but a lot of them are also looking for different ads like job offers, rent and others.
