ONLINE JOURNALS

In these day and age, online journal have become part of our everyday life. Even thou majority of readers prefer what they can see, hold and read comfortably, the word has fully become a global village. You can not only read news on papers or watch TVs, but you can also go online to view this news through journal.

How long will these take before people acknowledge it?
It is already highly effective. People use these mediums without even realizing it, they only want a rapid way of getting hold of a breaking News. Example of breaking news that can really move people and send them into searching was the death announcement of king of pop ‘Michael Jackson’. Majority of people went to online journals and News to get more information. That way once wouldn’t have to only read about it, but can also view photos and videos of what actually happened which were available on line less than three hours after his death. One it attracted to the online journals because they will not only be reading the breaking story, but they will also be viewing evidence and facts about it.

In the early days, it takes longer before effective news can take place. It usually use to be the news paper printed version, one have to wait for the story to be published. Different News papers publishing their own side of the stories could cost an individual buying more than one new paper to get a particular news right. Then came the Televisions where everyone can also see the video coverage of the news, I thought that was the end of technology.

Online journals doesn’t only give you information about a particular news, it also give you links to other related news artifacts. It can get really interactive as well. One can read or leave comments after reading a particular news, other readers can look into it after reading the same news and even add to it. This way, the news is builds up and can become a bigger and much more entertaining news. Sometimes if it is a solution based problem, people would throw in advice and questions and even give solutions to the problem.

Where are we heading from here? Is there going to be a much better and effective way of transmitting news?

The word NEWS is shrinking, the road to a big news are getting smaller. Thanks to the world wide web which made it possible, without it, we could still have been depending on News agents and publishers.
There are different kinds of journals; some are for current affairs, creativity, online art and literature, online News, online novels and poetry, university news and many more.
