Print Media
Advantages:
Tangibility: Print media, such as newspapers and magazines, offer a physical presence that many readers value. The tactile experience of flipping through pages can enhance the reading experience.
Readability: For some, print media is easier on the eyes than digital screens, reducing eye strain and making reading more comfortable for extended periods.
Retention: Studies suggest that readers may retain information better when reading from printed materials compared to screens, possibly due to the physical interaction with the medium.
Credibility: Print media often carries a sense of credibility and officialdom that digital media struggles to match. Established publishing houses have rigorous vetting processes, which many perceive as offering more reliable information.
