The growth of the Internet and WWW has spawned the newest medium for journalism, cyber journalism. The speed at which news can be disseminated on the web, and the profound penetration to anyone with a computer and web browser, have greatly increased the quantity and variety of news reports available to the average web user.
The web threat is rapidly advancing further the new stages of journalism, and its most advanced priorities such as new genres of multimedia world, digital photography, sound, video clips, modern graphics and design, internal and external links, blogs, newsletters and interactivity are one of the new means that fade and leave print journalism behind its back and among traditional readership which is reducing day by day. Newspapers mostly meet the Internet challenge by transferring their printed products onto their own web sites. That’s called ‘substitute technology.’ The idea is to pick up younger customers who don’t buy the paper. The priorities on technology have made the cyber journalism more attractable and the encyclopedia place towards the general readership. The readers can access to an easy navigation of a page and search for their news, they even can go beyond the news using external links. The print journalism lacks these very important priorities.
