1. How has technology changed the way people use newspapers?
One way technology has changed the way we use newspapers is that almost all of read our newspapers online. This is due to it being more convenient, as our phone can be used as a portable newspaper. Large broadsheets are very annoying to carry around, whereas with our phone is consistently in our pocket and we never let go of it, making it a lot easier to use daily. Also, you can have interactions with other people who own the newspapers, via social media sites like Twitter or Instagram, where people can drop their comments below.
Thanks to new technology we can gather news from certain areas promptly and upload them as soon as they happen. This allows them to upload things a lot quicker, which as a result makes them a primary source of news to a lot of audiences. Also, people from the public can contribute with their photos of the news, making them be quicker in producing their news. To add articles are a lot more interactive as since they are online, the public can share their views on the paper. This allows magazines to make improvements on their articles based on the comments, such as making certain areas more specific and precise.
