Moreover, the recent global “financial storm” causes all the markets depressing including the newspaper industry. In such a bad time, it is very hard for the companies to survive. The reduction of company costs becomes a key factor to determine the destiny of a company. Using the way of online news is able to diminish the cost dramatically. The cost of printing and publishing the newspaper vanishes in this way. Therefore, the innovation of shifting the traditional published newspaper to the E-form newspaper is the trend of times.
