Long Island News and Media Outlets
|
News and media refers to the sections of mass media which focus on presenting current news to the public. These include print media (newspapers, magazines); broadcast media (radio stations, television stations, television networks), and increasingly Internet-based media (World Wide Web pages, weblogs). Usually the term includes all working journalists and is often used by those who would make generalizations about the product of “most” journalists, for example that journalists who work for large media corporations, or who are based in New York City or Washington, D.C, harbor a liberal or conservative bias. The term news trade refers to the concept of the news media as a business separate from, but integrally connected to, the profession of journalism. A newspaper is a publication containing news and information and advertising. It may be general or special interest, most often published daily or weekly. The first printed newspaper was published in 1605. The newspaper industry survived competition from 20th-century technologies, especially radio and television, but 21st-century developments on the Internet are posing major threats. The owner of the newspaper, or person in charge, is the publisher. The person responsible for content is the editor, editor in chief, or executive editor. Long Island has all forms of media.

There are a couple decent local papers in print on Long Island still, though they tend to lean in one direction or the other on certain issues, politics for one, but they do serve their purpose and are of value. I would like to think I will be able to continue my ritual of retrieving the morning paper from my driveway every day, but clearly we are moving to a digital age. With so much more current and accurate information on just about anything, right at our fingertips, its hard not to foresee the death of the old fashioned news in print. Today we get our news delivered to our cellphone, never mind personal computers.
