Newspapers
do not just deliver everyday current affairs, they record history.
Yeah,
its sounds like an introduction to a CNN documentary, but itβs 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.
