Benefits of the internet over printed media
-It's cheap and most things on it are free, magazines are expensive
-its global, magazines require costly physical distribution so have typically more restricted reach
-its instant, magazines require a lot of time, and are daily weekly or monthly, the internet is second by second
-its easy to make content and recieve content, magazines have to be bought or subscribed to and it is comparitively impossible to contribute to them
-it can be contributed to by anyone anywhere (also a negative, cos idiots), magazines are just contributed to by employees, although may make use of internet for sending work across, so no longer logictical restrictions
its a multimedia platfom, video, image, interactive, magazines are text and still image only
benefits of printed media over internet
phsyical, tangible, internet is ethereal and ignorable
print traditionally has connotations of validity, committed to print, no longer the case but news moves so fast online that often its presence in a printed article legitimises the news
experimental/artful considered printing
has more impact, visually, memory, tendancy online to just swipe through amazing things wihtout batting an eyelid
synthesis of tone of thourghout a magazine
most of these things relate to fancier magazines though, journals and the like
what are the benefits of trashy mags, i really dont know
they are accessible to people to whom the internet is not
