What to look for	Voiceover notes
What are the advantages of online newspaper sites? After you’ve filmed the newspaper add the following examples to your screencast recording. •      They are immediate and up to date. When something happens, users can access the news and get regular updates •      They offer more immediate interactive opportunities, for example there is access to audio-visual clips and opportunities to blog or email opinions (PARTICIPATORY MEDIA) The Daily Mail which has a high percentage of female readers, has had particular success with its online version of Femail with its diet of fashion and gossip. •      Apps for several newspapers are available for mobile phones and tablets •      There is an archive facility so that users can access back issues or features	The advantages of an online newspaper site is that the articles gets updated regularly. Articles usually gets updated when there is something that is newsworthy.  The second advantage is that the audience (viewers of the website) don't have to wait as long to read an article because it gets addressed to the public faster than standard newspapers. The article gets reported in minutes and regular newspapers have a time limit to whether an article is considered to be newsworthy or not. Moreover, the newspaper articles are on their website, so it is easily accessible therefore it can be viewed on any mobile device (mobile phones (smartphones in particular), laptops and tablets).  The image below shows Daily Mail's app so that they can always read the news from their smartphone. The article heading above shows it gets published and gets frequently updated on the same day (08/01/18) On the other hand, the articles that newspaper companies produce might be biased so it tends to be one sided and doesn't consider both sides of the argument. Secondly, this results in a loss of jobs because there is a greater focus of people using online services everyday. Furthermore, if there is a major news story and there are so many people viewing the newspaper article at one time, the website might crash and it will take while for the company to get it up and running therefore they will miss out from accessing it. Also, if the company is maintaining the website, this means that the audience aren't able to access the website which forces the audience going to the company's competitors.
