In conclusion, the global reach and instant communication provided by the Internet has brought countless benefits to journalists and the users as well. However, the traditional newspaper still has its own role to survive. Due to the reporting format and content are still different between Internet news and newspapers, readers use the two products in very different ways, dipping into the web version to get updates on breaking stories and buying printed paper at the end.It seems that the survival of newspaper and print media would not be threaten by the Internet news in a short time, both Internet news and newspaper can be co-exist, but the long term consequences are still uncertain under the faster and faster development of technology. Before, newspaper is the first source to provide news, but it’s role has changed as the Internet and the broadcast media become the primary provider of news. Therefore, the newspaper should evolve further for analysis, comment and detail in order to make it different with the Internet news in order to led newspaper to a continued success. Nevertheless, if we quit seeing all other media as enemies and began to see all of them as foundation, connector and working with each other, I think it is the best for the media and communication world.
