Newspaper and Online Newspaper

Newspaper
A publication, usually issued daily or weekly, containing current news, editorials, feature articles, and usually advertising.
Online Newspaper
is never "put to bed," is never completely finished so long as there is news to report (or readers to receive that news for the first time as they log on at various hours of the day and night), the individual stories are not the message of the online paper.
I may say that an online newspaper is similar to newspaper for the two offers information which may publish daily. Accordingly, online newspaper "they had content down pat; the difference online was the time scale, not the content itself. But they did not realize that the time scale imposed its own message, that going from a daily to an hourly publication made it different, not just faster". Otherwise it means online newspaper is different for an online newspaper is always being splash for the latest news every hour of the time. One more thing the newspaper online is accesible for I could read whenever I want. Anytime i want to surf the internet i could check the news through the use of an online newspaper. Unlike in newspapers, i will still wait for tommorow to know the latest news. On the other hand, online newspaper is more enticing to read for it uses different colors, pictures and backgrounds that that is pleasing to the eyes. I think as a reader it would be more comfortable to the reader while reading a headline in the computer. Apparently, one advantage of an online newspaper there is no need to look for the other page of the continuation of the headline but I could read the whole headline at all. Besides on the newspaper I'm having a hard time browsing the other page for the continuation of the headline.

Corruption a cancer to the Government



news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/1593655.stm
If we would talk about corruption the first thought that would come to mind are the people involved in politics. Precisely, if we would mention them all it might occupy the whole page. However, there was this prominent man who was linked to the issue of corruption. Apparently, rumors are circulating that the first gentleman Mike Arroyo was allegedly questioned to be one of the most corrupt people in the country.


Basically when the issue came out like what the showbiz people do, Mr. Arroyo definitely denied that he’s a corrupt. In that case, the people would not easily reckon that kind of testimony. According to the articles the first gentleman was quoted to be the jueteng lord in the country. In an article I read, "The First Gentleman and Rep. Arroyo shouldn't be defended and protected by Malacanang and President Gloria without first allowing investigations to take place. None of the scandals involving the First gentleman have been allowed to come completely to light, and it's without a doubt because Malacanang has put its foot down against any close inquiries into his business affairs and involvements. Mike Arroyo may not be an elected public official, but he still nonetheless holds a position of power and influence that he has constantly been accused of abusing and exploiting to amass ill-gotten wealth." I believe so, it appears that the pieces of evidence were strong enough to prove the issue. Unfortunately, these important facts were being interfered because it could be the end of their secret lies. It would sound ironic but corrupt leaders were the cancer of the government. It’s just so sad that most of the people who does it and leaving there mess without giving any resolution are those who are in higher position.
