News websites are the waves of future journalism, and readers are increasingly surfing these waves. When it comes to getting their news, more people would rather read it online than in a newspaper. As one looks at the formatting of both mediums, it is easy to see the reason for this move.

This means readers often have to wade through a lot of material that they care little or nothing about to get to the information they need. However, online medium features shorter articles with colorful pictures which make it easy for online readers to scan for the information they need. Users don’t have to spend a lot of time flipping through pages to get to what they want. News stories often include summaries and are sorted by category. To see more of a story, all you need t do is to click a button.
Also, online readers don’t have to worry about missing a news item that’s important as they can often subscribe to have articles on any given topic delivered daily by email. With online news, the resident can easily be more involved in events that are happening in their community.
