The world of journalism revolves around dispensing credible information to the masses. Print journalism includes publishing true events in the form of newspapers, magazines, or any other written format to a large audience. Sharing true and detailed information with the audience is crucial and print journalism is trusted with it. By the mid-17th century, the first printing presses arrived in colonial America, which paved the way for a large number of newspapers being produced and circulated. Newspapers, magazines, journals and tabloids are some examples of print journalism. In this era of modernization and tech advancement, we often find ourselves consuming digital media over print media. Main reasons being ease of access and intangibility.
Since print journalism is all about the physical experience of reading newspapers, magazines, journals etcetera, it will be erroneous to assume that it’s a dying practice. In areas with limited or restricted access to the internet, print media is the sole dispenser of information from around the world. Moreover, keeping in mind how easy it is for misinformation to be disseminated within milliseconds via internet services, print media emerges to be credible and reliable among several demographics. Not to mention the fact that print journalism helps people remember history and culture through physical records. Print journalism gives the readers a break from the fast-paced digital world and invites them to indulge in the experience of smelling, touching and feeling the paper under their fingertips.
