Electronic vs. print media"Observing Reality by Reginald B" is the brainchild of Reginald B. Goodridge Jr. In a recent post, he articulates the differences between electronic and print media. Check out his post on this topic.
Reggie is another blogger who does an excellent job of posting commentary on world issues and current events. I recommend checking out his entire blog, not just the media post. And for those of you who are into creative writing, especially poetry, definitely visit Reggie's second web log. His creative endeavors take you on an intriguing journey.

I prefer print media. I don't know, maybe I am just used to print, since I been reading since I was in my mothers' womb.
This just can’t be true. I will never be. Here are my reasons: Only a small part of the knowledge that has been created is online. Rest every thing is still in print. Only a small fraction of the population has online access, majority never will be. Only today my new book has come off the print. How can any one think the print media is dying?
Shirazi, calm down. :-)
Of course, I agree with you and Rose. Print media is far from dead. The public will always read. You and Rose can attest to that as authors.
Newspaper circulation may be down in the U.S. The fact that the public is increasingly relying on broadcast news plays a great role in this. With broadcast news, updates and breaking news are immediate. You cannot get that from hard copies of newspapers. However, as you know, more and more newspapers now have online versions. To offset their circulation losses, they are coming up with more ways to make people pay to read online content. New York Times Select (where the public must now pay to read columns) is just one recent example.
Broadcasting will never replace newspapers. Even though technology is revolutionizing how people get their news. Even with the advent of citizen journals, other forms of online writing and eBooks, there will always be people who will prefer to hold something in their hands. I am one of them.
Finally, Shirazi, congrats on the publishing of your new book!
Ahhhhh, it is Reggie, the man of the hour. :-)
Your points are well taken and are well articulated. May all of us continue to consume knowledge together. You are always welcome here. Thanks again for the post.
