I have chosen this video because I think that’s an original way to explain the short life of the newspaper, from the birth of a new until we throw away the newspaper. In this video appears the animation of a man, and on the background of the image appear hundreds of pictures about newspapers. It’s a hard work, on one hand because of take a lot of photos, and the other hand because of do the animation.
Talking about the history of this video, it starts with the typical image of a sperm fertilizing an ovule. It means the beginning of one event. Here starts the progress of the creation of the newspaper, because we need the happenings to write something on our newspaper.
After that appears the ovule making an evolution from fetus to a baby. Then the baby starts crying. It means the evolution of the incident, and when the baby starts crying means the “boom” of this event, the moment where happened something so important with the sufficient magnitude to by reported.
Then a boy who is distributing newspapers appear on the video. It means the moment that the new is arriving to everywhere, so now a lot of people are knowing what happened, but everyone says different thinks, so we need someone who explain the happening correctly.
Following that appears an image of a journalist with a notebook. It means a journalist writing about the new. He has to collect all the information that he needs to write the new rightly. He has to ask everyone who was there at the moment of the incident and then can start writing.
After that appears a journalist writing on a typewriter. He’s writing the new with the information that he has collected. When the text is already to be published the new appears on the newspaper. Now everyone can read about the incident in an objective way.
Then appears an image about a graphic declining. It means that the new is losing the interest of the audience. Consequently the next scene: we throw away the paper.
And finally appears the newspaper behind a rubbish. It means the dead of the newspaper. When the audience don’t need the information about the newspaper it became useless.
In this blog we are going to explain how the newspaper has evolved throughout its history and how it has changed. We hope you enjoy it!
Newspaper evolution
To explain the newspaper evolution is important to know what the mass media is.
The mass media is maybe the most important clue that has changed the way to precede the information. It is a set of elements that trough them the information is reported massively to the society. It is the way trough which the information is collected, processed and communicated.
The first method of communication that born in the society is the capacity to remember histories that old generations told, and those histories are remembered and retold to the new generations. It was an oral method.
In that oral stage, people have improved in the society and in language. There was a shift when the man created the writing and the media that endure: in that way it appears the writing and printing. The newspaper starts to be very used in the society, everyday news were explained for them in the mass media.
The new technologies development affected and affect nowadays to all the mass media. Computing and the Internet have improved and optimized the production process and the mode of transmission of news.
Is in that decade when the computer becomes the owner of the industrial production of paper. Also nowadays is the same in electronic newsrooms, conducting plates for printing, etc. that is all controlled by the computer.
New instruments have born to obtain information from electronic mail, satellite signals, cell phones and digital cameras among other resources have transformed the traditional print media.
The digital newspaper like an interactive tool
Nowadays, in our society there is the traditional newspaper and the digital newspaper. The digital newspaper is characterized by his interactivity with the users. We talk about interactivity because it offers a few interactive contents, that is to say, multimedia contents (images, videos, texts…) that allow that the reader should participate more actively.
In the digital newspaper we can find interactive tools as the hypertext (links). A digital newspaper has more text contents than multimedia contents. These contents update in relation to when the news happens. So, the structure of a digital newspaper is hierarchic because the contents are arranged from a bigger importance to a minor importance.
The digital newspaper presents readers' letters, e-mails of contact, forums, surveys and interviews. In a digital newspaper we can find access to versions of the diary printed in format PDF. A good thing of the digital newspaper it is that it can store a lot of information whereas the traditional not; and something bad is that the reader has few opportunities to take part in the production of the news.
Advantages and disadvantages of the digital newspaper
The online newspaper has many advantages over traditional newspaper. First of all we should note that online newspapers add a lot of tools that add information to the news. The tools give to the reader more information and understanding of the news. The traditional newspaper only has texts and some images, the online newspaper add videos, surveys, lector’s comments, etc. It makes easier the act of read the newspaper.
Another advantage is the price. Read the newspaper online means not to pay anything. However, we have to pay some money to read a traditional newspaper. So this is another factor to choose the online newspaper.
The next advantage is the new attitude of the lectors. They can give their opinion and discuss her point of view with the other lectors. It’s another think that traditional newspaper can’t offer.
Another factor is the convenience. It’s more convenient to choose what you want to read with a click of your mouse than search the content you want to read on the pages of the newspaper. However stay a lot of hours in front of the screen is bad for our eyes.
