Advantages of Paper-Based Media

• As a material Ancillary uses of newspapers
  (wrapping, cleaning etc.)
• Portability, durability and cost of the medium
• Useablity of paper-based resource (e.g. marking
  -up research papers, on-line books and books on
  tape do not rival paper based books)

  the advantages of print media)

Conclusion

• Co-existence at present (paper-based media is
  still very popular)
• Old media is rarely replaced completely (Niche
  markets exist for various reasons, see for
  example Telegram, Vinyl etc.)
• Choice of medium by the consumer is dictated by
  cost, convenience and preferences
• New media will develop to meet these needs of the
  consumer--The rate of this will determine the
  rate of displacement of print media by new media.
