Decline of print news 

News papers are dieing out and loosing sales because all news is now available for free online or vire TV. Newspapers used to be the main source of news, and had no competition. However with the development of new technology it has been made prehistoric and the main readers are from older generations as new generation grew up with newer forms of news. The newspaper industry isn't so much falling it is just evolving on more digital platforms instead of print. The majority of newspapers now have online websites uploading on regular schedules. These newspapers are either in the same format or adapted for online purposes. these articles are funded vire subscription , donations or advertising.

Interactivity 

little interactivity as you can only take the papers word for it as you are reading an article. The fact that information only goes the one way means that you cant discuss it or have your say. NDM completely changes this as there are comment boxes, apps and sharing tools online, this all adds to the interactivity of the newspaper. For example the guardian website has interactions in the page letting you brows as comment as you please. The pictures and headline news often rotate on the front page of the website allowing the reader to get up to date in seconds. Readers can also sign in to the website to access the news, that they are interested in such as sport and other lifestyle choices. You can also focus on the news in certain areas for more local news stories.           

LiuYuping argues that there are 3 features of interactivity.

1. Active control
2. Two way communication. Anyone can comment from anywhere.
3. Synchronicity. As soon as story breaks, it is online as you don't need to wait for it to be printed.
