Due to its (new media) immediacy in information, people turn to online journalism because they ,want to be abreast about what is happening around the globe in every minute.
More over, "seeing is believing", most people prefer watching than reading, which has made Nigerians lazy.
in this light, for traditional journalism to retain its audiences and survive, it need to adopt some aspects of the new media to its profession by having their website address and updating it with current information and giving the audience the opportunity to post their comments on issues that are affecting the lives of the people. like the october1st,2010(independence day) bomb blast in Abuja. traditional journalism should try to make its possible to show some live events on their website, since the audience prefer watching than reading.
Finally, traditional journalism should improve its production by using more graphic arts to make the newspaper more beautiful to attract audiences and advertisers.
