The new generation prefer the digital media more. This is also the reason that various publishing houses are now available online over the internet. Social media is also playing an important role in spreading any news in a very quick manner.

For this very reason, newspapers and magazines are finding it more difficult to survive day by day. But we should never forget that the newspaper and the magazines can solve a lot of problems. For example, the tendency to post a particular news in a very quick manner is very high. So, in some cases there are several grammatical mistakes and even errors in the post which are available online as compared to a particular news or any event or fact. But in case of publications in physical format like newspapers and magazines, the various facts, events or news are published after through check-up and verification. So, it is basically very rare to find errors in the print media. But there are chances that there are some errors in the print media also. So if you are able to find any error in the print media and you report that to the concerned publication. Then the publication will definitely reward you for your sincere approach, in some way.
