Compare Indonesian and Australian online or
paper-based magazines. What are the similarities? Are there any
differences? You could ask students to keep a journal of their

Compare online and print newspapers / magazines – what
opportunities or challenges does the online medium bring for publishers?
Opportunities would include ease and speed of updating content; the
ability to include animation, coloured images, audio and video; the fact
that the medium appeals to young people; it is environmentally friendly
(doesn’t use paper and printing chemicals); it is cheaper to publish and
may be free to the reader; and it can reach a wide audience.
Challenges would include the fact that people can steal your images
and words; if you don’t update frequently people get bored with
going to your site; you have to work out other ways of advertising your
product; people can’t access your magazine without a computer; you can’t
use as many words online, so the writing style needs to be very ‘tight’;
you need people with technical skills, as well as journalistic or
graphic design skills; it might be more difficult to make money through
advertising unless you can guarantee a large audience.
