Some people believe that in the future, no one will purchase printed newspapers or

anymore because everything you want to read is available online for free.

because in digital

, the

quality

of the content is often sacrified and printed

brings a different experience than reading digitally. Even though online

are free, the

is not as good as printed

. Not getting money from prints, online

sources relies on ads and clicks for their revenue.

In other words

, they focused more on the quantity of

they put out over the

of it.

This

leads to clickbait titles, rushed

false. A recent data showed that over 70% of

online have some form on misinformation in them, from small bits of data to the whole article being wrong.

Secondly

, reading physical

books

is an irreplaceable experience. The distinct smell of

books

, the feel of paper in your hand, the sound of flipping pages; those things are not replicable by digital reading. Even if it might be true that some if not most people are not going to buy

books

anymore, a certain niche of book lovers would still go out of their way to purchase printed

books

. As an example, there was an online demonstration a few months back because a big publisher in Indonesia is going to stop production, showing that there is still demand for printed

media

. In conclusion, I believe that even when

media

is available online, there will still be a certain niche that prefers printed ones. The

quality

of the content and the experience of consuming it would be a few examples of the reasons for that choice.
