For a long time, newspapers were an inexpensive and easy way for people to get news and advertising information. Newspapers have been around for hundreds of years. In the English-speaking world, the first real newspaper was the London Gazette in 1666. They have always been “user-friendly,” so people could move easily between the sections, reading only what interested them. Now that newspapers are online, they're still simple to use, maybe better than ever.
Also known as E-editions, online newspapers are exact copies of the print newspaper that readers can see on their computers.
- There are lots of great things about an online newspaper:
You can see all the same text, photos and ads that you'd see in the print newspaper.
- You can flip through pages, skim headlines and stories, and use E-editions just like you can with a print newspaper.
- It's easy to change screen layout and move through pages or sections. Plus, moving the mouse over a story or headline often provides a summary for a quick read.
- You can type in keywords to research people or topics.
- You can save or print articles by clicking a button.
- Online newspapers don't require recycling so they're environmentally friendly.
- The newspaper archives make it easy to research topics of study.
It's True!IT'S TRUE: While using an E-edition, you can create personal archives or e-mail interesting articles to friends when working on a group project.
