it's about the supposed death of print now
this shouldve just been a mention, not the entire thing
i don't want to write the entire thing about social media and online news
my initial intention was to answer my series of questions on the purpose and role of printed magazines, with a section about their decline and the rise of the internet
because i didnt research the death of print i have nothing informed to say about it, and am finding myself having to stop writing and research more all the time which stilts my progress
its rendered all of my previous research useless and im no longer comparing the structural, aesthetic and linguistic devices of magazines between audiences of differing genders and incomes, their manipulation, their content, or anything, meaning there is no longer a synthesis between my practical and written aspects
today I am going to repurpose the words I have already written and lay down the structure for the essay I wanted to write, that relates to my research, and to my practical project.
resultantly i will not die from confusion

structurey plan
Start
introduce printed media and suggestion of its increasing obselesence
talk about magazines
lifestyle magazines their online counterparts
begs question if more info is available faster for free online, whsts the point in magazines
rich history of printed media
timeline of lifestyle magazines
history of publishers
point about fancy mags being time honoured and trashy being more recent
then history of internet media, online magazines, social networks up to what we can do now
we can do what we want its just a matter of thinking of it etc etc yadayadayadah
look at print magazines now
compare equivalents
current state of publishers
online counterparts
what online offers that print doenst
what print offers that online doesnt
benefits disadvantages of each, argue through them, a good chunk of essay
similarities and differences
things print magazines took from online and vice versa
in that section look at yellow journalism and clickbait as a main example
also in this section, validity of news, speed, accessibility, can get away with more in print or online?
online couldnt ahve existed without print but could it now
do we need it? what do people think
is it the same as the argument of books over tablets
what people think online media could do in future
resurgence of print? will it be strong enough
where does print stand in sales figures, what are the predictions,
what would a world without print be like
thinking of that reality, is print necessary, and then are printed lifestyle magazines nevessary

making a resource to help me write stuff
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
