Page 3 of 3 iTWire is a good example of where the web will
win out every single time: news reporting. The whole point about news
is immediacy, if not getting the story first then getting it in a
timely manner. Something that print publications with long lead times
cannot hope to match. Featured Whitepaper

Longer lead times work in favour of in-depth analysis and give print the edge in this regard. Cut out the immediacy requirement and the writer is given space to explore and analyse. But this competitive edge can only hold up for so long, and news is only a part of what most IT magazines do. In time I think that Hess will be proved right and, at least in the world of IT, print magazines will go the way of papyrus and smoke signals. But not any time soon. |
