Essay Reconstruction: The Effect of Internet on Newspapers

First read te model answer below:

The issue of whether or not the Internet is a threat to newspapers is a complicated one. Some people claim it offers a great opportunity while others believe that traditional newspapers are already irrelevant. It is my own belief that, rather than pose a risk, the Internet actually is changing newspapers for the better.

Critics of the effect of the Internet on newspapers point out that sales of newspapers have dropped dramatically on account of the Internet and newspapers are therefore no longer able to make money. In addition to this, many claim that the Internet has led to a decline in the quality of journalism as newspaper websites are updated several times a day and much of the content is written quickly and therefore carelessly.

On the other hand, the Internet has undoubtedly had a beneficial effect on newspapers. One particularly positive influence is that it is much easier for readers to interact with a newspaper. They are invited to send their own accounts or photos and consequently newspaper websites can carry information about events as soon as they happen. Furthermore, readers can share their views with others on message boards and as a result there is a livelier debate than there was in the days of the traditional 'letters to the editor'. Finally, thanks to their websites, many newspapers have seen a significant increase in their readership, often from across the world.

To conclude, the Internet has had both a positive and a negative impact on newspapers, but, all in all, the change has definitely been for the better. To my mind, newspapers now feel less remote and elitist due to the constant presence of their readers online and this is surely a positive development.
