How News Will Be Delivered in the Future

Wednesday, December 28th, 2011

News is very important in today’s society. Companies use it to advertise their products and specials. Sports teams use the new to advertise their organization and gain fans who will purchase their products. Politicians use the news to send out political messages in order to gain popularity. Regular citizens will use it to know what is going on in their society. In the past, news was delivered predominantly through newspapers and on the television. In the future, this will change greatly.

Printing newspapers is very costly. Papers, ink jets, and trucks need to be purchased. The vehicles need lots of gar and sometimes need costly repairs. Employees need to be paid to deliver them to various locations. News on the television means millions of dollars need to spend on cameras, employees and buildings. Reporters need to rehearse themselves and spend lots of time to produce a small story. If the rating are down, they could easily lose their work positions. Also, certain types of stories are censored and would not be acceptable to put on the air.

The future of news will be far less costly and complex. Companies will have reporters and workers who put news onto the internet. They will simply type stories and take pictures that will be uploaded onto their website. The news will be transmitted onto the internet and cell phones in various locations. Any internet enabled device will be attached to the news. If citizens want paper copies of the articles, they can easily print it out onto paper that they have purchased with a printer that is their’s. If it is graphic, a link can be added that asks for someone to click a button to say that they are 18 years old or more. Video segments can easily be uploaded by using regular digital cameras. This will allow news to be delivered faster and be more current. There will be no delay between important events and when society is able to know about them.
