Newspapers Vs. TV and Web

Newspapers, Broadcast and Web news are three different ways to tell stories. Newspapers can go into more detail and be much longer, more satisfying stories. Newspapers also have very credible sources. But, they have to wait until the next morning to print.
Broadcast stories are advantageous because TV's are on 24-7 and anchors can broadcast breaking news to the public within seconds. They cut the details and get straight to the hard facts. Some people prefer watching news because they can be in a relaxed state and let the anchor fill them with news instead of reading it themselves. They can also show videos and photos.
Web stories can do all of the above plus other multimedia like podcasts. Web stories can be downloaded instantaniously, and anyone can read stories on the web as long as they have access to a computer, ipod or phone these days. Anyone can put anything on the internet so credible sources are harder to find. Definitely the most accessable way to tell stories.
