Newspapers have one major advantage over the digital world from a news perspective. News stories in a newspaper have been written by journalists. The stories have been researched and put through an editing process and they comply (most of the time)with the law.

Below is a link to an article from the Guardian newspaper where Claire Enders, from media research firm Enders' Analysis explains her view on why newspapers are still an important part of the newsroom.

"Painting a bleak picture of the future of newspapers, she said online was providing "no substitute" for newspapers with consumers "grazing" on the internet rather than thoroughly digesting content."

As citizen journalism becomes larger and larger, with more people voicing their opinions on the internet, the people who just want to read some proper news stories are going to have to search through more and more opinions to find the facts. It is this reason why newspapers are still available in the shops and why there is still a place for the newspaper in the modern newsroom.
