Distinctive Features of Online India News Media
The online India news media is fast carving out a niche for itself. With internet reaching the homes and mobiles of the people, the current news is only a few clicks away. As the reach of the internet increases across distances and devices, a fundamental transformation is undergoing in the way we interact with the India news media. This transformation is due to the features of the online media which sets it apart from the traditional media.
It is a fact of life that in the busy routines, it is not possible to read through the morning newspapers which many of us subscribe. On the other hand, there is a growing dependence on the computers and internet and people spend most part of their times in front of computers. This section of the digitally active people can check out the latest happenings using the online media and keep well informed.
Second important feature is that if you are not interested in going through the pages of the entire newspaper, but want to know about a particular section only, then the online media is far better to make use of. You can subscribe to the RSS feeds of only those sections which are of interest to you. So, you can get the exclusive sports news or political news or even the business news in your separate feeds aggregators without having to check out the website of the online magazine. And, you can do this aggregation from not just one but a number of online news media.
If you want to look for some old newspaper, this is a difficult task to locate it physically. But, the online edition of the same can be found with ease. Just type in the required date in the archives section and you will get to see the archived online magazine of that period.
India is a multi-lingual society and therefore, there are national and regional news media which are operational in different languages. While the Hindi and the English news media, be it the printed newspapers or magazines or the channels, can be found nationwide, there other languages are confined to certain specific regions only. It is not easy to find the newspapers or magazines in one regional language to be available in the other parts of the country. The online India news media can be readily made multi-lingual in character. The same news can be read by the thousands of people from different linguistic backgrounds at the same time in the language of their choice.
Yet another important feature which distinguishes it from the other media is the scope of reader interaction that it provides. There are limitations with the both the print and the TV media when it comes to interaction with the readers. The former has the limitations of space and the latter has the limitations of time. However, there is no such limitation associated with the online media.
It is due to these and many more distinguishing features that the India news media is making use of the online platform for better dissemination of news and for greater participation of the readers in providing their feedback.
