Designs can be detailed and use every shade of color imaginable. With the advent of computers in the newspaper business, every aspect from speed to image design has improved and things that were never possible before are now accomplished with ease and accuracy. The Internet has greatly improved newspapers and widened their impact. Many news sources are now online, for example ABCnews and The Washington Post. More employees are needed to maintain servers, update featured news stories, and update style formats.
Many people predict the elimination of paper newspapers all together.
Instead of eliminating paper altogether, we can now keep our paper newspapers and be able to have electronic versions as well. Each type serves a different purpose. We can now personalize what we want to see in our newspapers and view the information online. With improvements in personal computer printers, people can print news from online news sources at home if they choose. We can view our news reports via our personal palmtop with web capabilities from anywhere in the world.
