Electronic Newspaper
In the late 1990s newspapers began offering their content on the Internet in record numbers. By the end of the decade, more than 1,000 North American newspapers offered online versions, most available to Internet users free of charge. Electronic newspapers spared publishers one of their highest expenses—newsprint—and many brought publishers additional advertising revenue. The New York Times on the Web, an exerpt of which is shown here, offers readers the same content as its print publication as well as stories and features available only in its online version.
