It is an additional tool that's at our disposal to gather information. In this time when we are bombarded with more information than we can use on television, the radio and in our mail boxes, the value of the Internet is that we can use it to go find specific information that we want. A good example is found in our new city manager, Kenneth Neal. After he applied for the job here Neal accessed the Pecos Enterprise online to get familiar with the town and keep up with current events in Pecos. I like to check out the online presence of other newspapers across the nation where I have specific interests.
Online newspapers are also good for reading about world events.
By accessing several different online newspapers you can see different slants and angles on an event that interests you or is important to you and thereby get a better understanding. But for hometown news there is nothing better than the local newspaper, on print, right in your lap. I don't think that will change for some time to come. So, while the Internet brings us more opportunities for accessing information, it will be a long time before, if ever, it replaces the convenience, effectiveness and comfort of the local newspaper.
