Print Media is Still Very Effective in the Advertising Market
In
this tech era, where internet marketing is on the rise, people
undermine the significance of the print media. Undoubtedly, the new
generation is more inclined to the electronic gadgets, however,
somewhere down the line, so called 'conventional' media exists and is
doing great.
No
matter how advanced and convenient the electronic media gets, the
significance of the print media can't be overlooked, especially when
it comes to having a long-lasting impact in the advertising market.
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY61-nWkXmaTw6Av5IGvX4jXbZ_a_VNXAqBqR-qFNYAW8IMgJNO9lwFy0_BR0dnG7oRU5sCwWcT6EJL2pZWGh9nDX4T58_Fdr70WYwvbi4-rWC1H9i8qgtoFTiU6bEsI38CaJeHgNmpoI/s1600/print-media.jpg)
Newspapers
are also a very good example that are indeed keeping the print media
alive. People, who are interested in buying will certainly turn to
the classified section once they buy a newspaper. On the other hand,
the electronic media covers a large circulation worldwide, which is
'useless' if it's not targeting the right audience. With electronic
media, chances of reaching the right group of people are quite low.
Moreover, in the flood of advertisements over the web, it's very
difficult to reach the same advertisement again and again.
Additionally,
the print advertising works the best in case of a local event or
sales announcement. A small column in the newspaper, or pamphlet is
enough to circulate a news about any local event. Even national
events are effectively covered by the print media in a long run.
No
matter how deep roots the electronic media may have in the
advertising market, the print media will not lose its glory and
always remain competitive in the same market.

Digitize Your Newspapers and Save History – Now!
Newspapers
do not just deliver everyday current affairs, they record history.
Yeah,
its sounds like an introduction to a CNN documentary, but it’s the
truth. Newspapers keep tab on the important global events that you
may have missed while you were busy taking selfies at a new-found
hole-in-the-wall, or writing a Facebook status about a love life that
you don't have.
However,
newspapers are also a piece of literature, may it be sensationalized
or not, that can easily be turned into wrapping paper for moving
fragile items or a source of few lose change when surrendered to a
junk shop. Worse, newspapers are susceptible to all harsh weather
conditions even when kept properly.
Through
the scanning of newspapers, the material and all its content can
easily be preserved electronically and disseminated to the greater
public. This allows a more efficient archival of information which
may prove helpful in the future. Yes, gone are the days that
newspapers would be open to deterioration in local libraries. One
would no longer have to belabor the process of research, (and yes,
it's tad easier than pulling out microfilm records).
Not
only that, ease of access to information is made possible through the
effectiveness of keywords! With physical periodicals going digital,
the search for pertinent knowledge can now be done through entering
the right keywords. This assures netizens that the search results
would only render what they actually need.
One
company that has made it their landmark service is Media Track. With
a good track record in media conversion, Media Track comes up only
with quality digitized versions of newspapers. Indeed, they have
handled the innovation well within the industry.
And
because the production of newspapers is continuous, the need for
newspaper digitization has grown exponentially over the
years and we are not seeing an end to it any time soon.

Newspaper Digitization Makes Vast Information Accessible and Searchable
Newspapers are packed with information. However, the vast availability of information contained in them makes it difficult to find and browse at a quick pace. In other words, it’s challenging. Of course, it’s a different story when newspapers are microfilmed, which is usually the case in many libraries. Unfortunately, libraries only hold a few of microfilmed newspaper copies and are often not even available in other libraries. Even with this new kind of access to newspapers, except when they have been indexed, searching for specific information can be tiresome.
Newspapers are top candidates for article conversion because of the wide ranging, hard-to-access, and all-encompassing information they hold. At its best, newspaper digitization makes information easily accessible and searchable to anyone.
Newspapers are top candidates for article conversion because of the wide ranging, hard-to-access, and all-encompassing information they hold. At its best, newspaper digitization makes information easily accessible and searchable to anyone.
There are many benefits of newspaper digitization. It greatly extends and widens the span of access that can be provided. Newspaper publishing companies, for example, can choose to make their digitized newspapers available to many of their readers, whenever and wherever.
At the same time, the use of a digital copy enables libraries and many companies to preserve their original copies which after many years, can become fragile, making accessibility more difficult. Digitized newspapers on the other hand, have the ability to be keyword searchable which makes information gathering easy and fast.
Why is it better than microfilmed versions?
In preserving newspapers, microfilm is actually an accepted standard process. Some companies that convert newspapers to digital copies film newspapers first, before digitizing them. Microfilming is their priority. As a result, filming and digitizing are processed simultaneously.
In such cases where films are old, it is still best to use the original printed version of a newspaper. In fact, some of the largest projects for newspaper digitization are filming their old papers again because their original microfilm copies are getting dim and hazy.
Although newspaper digitization is commonly processed from films, using print materials has its advantages. Print copies are easier to digitize. Unlike films that get old, blurry, and are sometimes incomplete, digitizing newspapers from printed source is reliable and easy to read because they are clearer.
What’s more, processing print materials produces better results. This in turn, enables high-quality image output and successful character recognition which is key in making text searchable.
This article discusses the digitization of newspapers. It provides brief information about the importance of this process and it’s comparison with microfilmed newspapers. It also explains the advantage of newspaper digitization over microfilmed copies.
