Why Print Media is Not Dead but TV might Be.

They have all been talking about it, that Print Media, namely News Paper is Dead, or very close to it.

I have made a few comments why this will never happen, Breakfast and Toilet, Basically most people have a daily routine, eat breakfast and read the newspaper: We want to touch and feel the paper, and read the pages we always read to start each day:

Also the first thing I mostly always do when I go to the toilet is look for something to read: As we become busy and look for more things to fill the gaps in our life, we look to expand our minds through new media, newspapers, magazines and books:

TV though I think is Dead, unlike a book when we can pick it up and put it down and come back to it as we please, TV is different it is based on a certain time, news at six short land street at seven etc. With the coming of the Internet we now have on demand TV, and at least in NZ's case every good show that is currently on TVNZ is actually found on the net except its about five or six episodes ahead: So why do I wait for it to air on TVNZ well now I dont, I simply get anxious source these shows then watch them online: Much more convenient:

The days of arranging our lives around what is on TV, being silent at certain times, not answer the phone at a particular time is over, I can watch a whole week or months episode in one sitting, then go about more other things:

Print media is alive and well, TV is Dead.
