The newspapers were hardly getting used to the news being telecast on the television, when all of a sudden the advent of the internet brought a crucial blow to the newspaper industry. Most of the newspapers have not been able to withstand the onslaught of the internet and have been forced into closure. Let us first see the basic difference between the newspapers and e-news. Pros of the online news The advantages of online news are mainly for the readers. Some of these advantages are as follows. The e-news is much faster than the newspapers. The moment something happens in any part of the world it gets published on the internet within seconds. In case of newspapers there is a specific time limit for any news to be reported in any particular newspaper. Suppose the newspaper goes for printing at midnight, anything that happens after midnight is going to most probably get published the next day. In these sorts of situation the newspaper offers stale news to the readers who have already accessed the online news. Any newspaper get published once, twice or maximum thrice a day. On the other hand e-news usually gets updated several times in 24 hours. If one has accesses to the internet, one does not have to wait for the delivery man to deliver the newspaper. E-news is considered to save paper and help at conservation of nature. Cons of the online news The online news has some disadvantages but those are mainly for the newspaper publishers. The rates of subscriptions and advertisements are greatly reduced in case of online news. This implies that as the number of readers of online news increases the revenue generation of the newspaper publisher is falling drastically. Ways for the newspapers to survive There are only a few ways that the newspapers can resort to for surviving the blow of the e-news. Some of the newspapers charge subscription to the readers that like to read more than what is offered for free. There is just a link for "more" which can be activated and operational after paying some subscription charges. If you do not pay the subscription the "more" link cannot be activated. Most of the newspaper publishers have realized that if they want the newspaper to survive they have to publish the newspaper in print as well as online on the internet. The iPad from Apple has brought some hope for the newspapers. There are applications that allow the iPad user to access the internet and the newspapers too.
Nowadays it becomes necessary for News Today the newspaper to make a unique offering to its readers. The other way for the newspaper publishers to survive is through blogging. There are chances that levying subscription can reduce the revenue generated but at the same it is also seen that unique blogs can bring a lot of business to the newspaper publisher. Copyright © 2011 Who in their right mind would argue that Mirko Cro Cop belongs in the top 5 heavyweight fighters in the world? Well, I'll also put him in the top 5 all around fighters in the world. Now that Mirko has joined the UFC it's clear that Tim Silvia's days as champion are numbered. Mirko will hold the UFC heavyweight title in 2007, I'd put money on that one. Mirko's strength is most certainly his striking, including the best high kicks in the business. Victim's of Cro Cop's left high kick is a list of MMA royalty...I wonder if he can get that kick 6 foot 7 (Tim Silvia's height). Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira makes my list as the fourth best fighter in the world. He recently defeated Josh Barnett in a decision. I've never seen Nog get badly beaten in a fight, although Fedor certainly had his number. He's probably been the most consistent heavyweight in the world over the last 5 years, a tough submission master who also strikes well and has a solid chin. He's beaten names like Mirko Cro Cop, Josh Barnett, Bob Sapp and almost every other heavyweight worth mentioning (with the exception of Fedor). Chuck Liddell comes in at number three, the third best MMA fighter in the world. Nobody on the planet can argue that Chucks fists have dynamite in them. He has unbelievable knock out power, but he is so much better than that. Even the best ground game fighters in the world (Tito, Babalu, Randy) have been unable to take Chuck to the ground and keep him there. Randy did it, but that was three years and many fights ago. The only fighter to beat Chuck without being beaten in return is Quintin Rampage Jackson, expect to see that rematch in late 2007 or early 2008 I consider George St Pierre to be the second best MMA fighter in the world. His dominant performance against Matt Hughes at UFC 65 cemented this position for him. Not only did he beat Matt to the punch with outstanding stand up skills. He also beat him to the kick with a devastating left high kick which ended up finishing the fight. But George did more than stand with Matt (previously considered unstoppable at welterweight). When Matt Hughes tried to take GSP down, he was easily stopped. When the fight did go to the ground it was St Pierre on top of Matt. George has also beated BJ Penn in a gutsy decision performance and stopped Frank Trigg easily, in fact, he made Trigg look like an amateur fighter. Who is the best heavyweight MMA fighter in the world? Was there ever any doubt, despite a disappointing performance against Mark Hunt, Fedor Emelianenko is certainly the best heavyweight fighter in the world. I also believe based on his dominance, that he should be crowned king of all MMA fighters. People have become so accustomed to Fedor dominating his competition that a submission late in the first round against one of the best heavyweight fighters in the world (Mark Hunt) is considered a poor performance. Fedor is toughness, he doesn't look like your classic fighter, but he is amazing to watch, he just wins and convincingly. I don't really think there is a close #2, the only fighters with a chance against Fedor are Cro Cop and Hunt due to their punching power...but those are slim chances at best. Fedor has victories over every fighter to face him in the Pride Fighting organization. I just don't see a fighter on the map who even comes close to his skills and strength.
