Print vs. Online: Which One Are You?

Print and online news are battling it out when it comes to who reads what and where do they go to read it. While interviewing a handful of people, I found it to be intriguing that they rather get their news from online.

Cashia Holmes, 17 Orlando Fla. read up on Hip Hop News mostly from blogs posted online. She rarely read magazine print due to online being free. When asked what doesn't she read, she said "Animated stuff and sports."

Sharlene Alexander 39, Orlando Fla. catches up on her favorite topics, "Money and Politics." Alexander said she gets most of her news from The Wall Street Journal Online, however she too does not read anything sports related.

Katie Miller, 20 Orl. Fla. said she gets most of her news from online articles and HLN. Her favorite topics are money and politics, and she too doesn't read anything sports related.

As one can see, online is becoming the trending source for news more and more each day.

I read everything from newspapers, magazines, online and television broadcasting because sometimes it's better to hear news from different sources because you just never know.
