Hello my readers,
Today, I want to discuss something interesting that I recently noticed while reading Indian newspapers—both Hindi and English. Many newspapers, especially Hindi dailies like Dainik Jagran, have started highlighting key lines to draw readers’ attention to the most important points. This is quite different from the newspapers we grew up reading during our childhood.
In today’s world, newspapers are no longer the primary source of information for most people. We now have much easier and faster ways to consume news—through short videos, reels, and instant updates that require minimal reading effort. However, this was not the case earlier.
There was a time when the internet was not easily available to everyone and was mostly limited to large offices or internet cafés. During that period, newspapers were the main source of information about what was happening in the world. People depended heavily on them for daily updates. Newspapers often came with ten pages or more, filled with long paragraphs that readers had to go through carefully to understand the context of the news.
Today, in this fast-paced lifestyle, newspapers seem to be adapting to changing reading habits. By using yellow highlights to emphasize important lines, they help readers quickly grasp the essence of a news story without reading lengthy paragraphs. It reflects how even traditional media is evolving to stay relevant in an age of shrinking attention spans.
evolution is the only way to thrive, as Darwin would agree. while the internet is flooded with information, it is harder to tell real from fake news. newspapers still stand as a reliable source of information as long as independent journalism continues to be the fourth pillar of democracy, speaking truth to power.
