Print Media v/s Electronic Media: A Need for Introspection

Abstract

The media industry has seen significant changes over the past few decades, with the rise of electronic media challenging the dominance of traditional print media. Print media, which includes newspapers, magazines, and books, has been around for centuries and has been the primary source of news and information for many people. Electronic media, on the other hand, has seen a dramatic increase in popularity with the   rise of social media, online news websites, and streaming platforms. In this research paper, we will explore the advantages and disadvantages of print and electronic media and consider how they have impacted society and the media industry. The comparison between print media and electronic media is an interesting and  ongoing debate in the media industry. While both forms of media have their advantages and disadvantages, it is important to consider the impact they have on society and whether they are meeting the needs of their audience. Print media, such as newspapers and magazines, has been around for centuries and has traditionally been the main source of news and information for many people. It is tangible, portable, and easy to read. Print media has a long history of credibility and reliability, with many readers trusting the information that is presented to them. Electronic media, on the other hand, has exploded      in popularity in recent years with the rise of social media, online news websites, and streaming platforms. Electronic media is accessible from anywhere with an internet connection and can reach a vast audience quickly. While electronic media has its benefits, such as instant access to breaking news and the ability to interact with others online, it also has its drawbacks. There is a growing concern over the spread of misinformation and fake news online, and the algorithms used by social media platforms can create filter bubbles that limit the diversity of news and information that   people are exposed to.
