Delineating ‘Online Journalism’ and its quick trend development from a South East Asian perspective in contrast to how Americans would put it is quite out-of-focus. It is because they are all gearing towards the same approach-–catching up with the technology-going-across-the-board.
Sure, no one wants to be left behind. No matter how sluggish it’s working for other countries, they are launched to do the same movement. There’s no bright red difference. But, the inconsistency lies somewhere, and one definite aspect of it is in their ‘development rate’. America and Singapore developed way earlier than the others. A lot of factors would support it: the financial stability of one country, the way of governance in one administration and the rules being regulated in the whole state. I am now thinking that I don’t want to think about the future. How further and farther can they get with their radical mindset?
Nonetheless, I like the notion of ‘paywall’. In some ways, I am thinking that they constructed it so it could put equal emphasis on print media. They want people to think that they will get the same thing, as they pay for the same thing.
