The Survival Status of Traditional Newspapers

In the memory of the public, the newsstand is a landmark building for the youth in the 1990s, and it is a window to provide spiritual food for the citizens. But today, the newsstand is no longer the grand occasion of the year, which also implies that the traditional paper media is experiencing the cold winter. It is precisely because of the prosperity of the Internet and self-media that the way of reading has changed. Due to the fragmentation of electronic reading, it is almost impossible for young people to concentrate on reading. In a sense, mobile phones will inevitably replace magazines. There is also an objective reason why the paper media is cold, that is, in traditional magazines, we know that nearly half of the advertisements can be seen. Now that you have a mobile APP, it's free. Who wants to spend money on magazines and advertisements?

In the past two years, many magazines have stopped publishing paper publications, or stopped publishing completely, or put more energy into developing digital publications. As soon as such news came out, some people wondered whether the paper media would disappear completely in the future. For such development, we can only let nature take its course. After all, the electronic age has arrived, and we are used to reading news anytime and anywhere with our mobile phones. Few people buy newspapers any more. Such paper media, newspapers, magazines and periodicals are the first victims.

Now, 99% of the news we see on the online media are actually compiled and edited by traditional media such as newspapers and TV reporters. In fact, many traditional media are now paying attention to new media, but only reducing the requirements for traditional media. Nowadays, most of the popular articles on the Internet are of high quality and rich in content, while the traditional paper media are neglected because the content is not sufficient. When the media focuses on the new media industry, how can the paper media have high-quality content, so I think content is king and will not be eliminated at any time.
