Disadvantages of online news services

However, this service too has a number of disadvantages paired with it. These include:
  • Just because the article is online, it doesn’t mean it is no longer biased. Most media is biased – views expressed are almost always one sided.
  • With more and more news outlets putting a greater focus on providing online news services, this could result in a cut in jobs, as to operate on the internet, fewer personnel are required.
  •  Websites could crash if lots of people try accessing them for a major news story; if the site crashes, nobody can access it for a short while.
  • Some technical issues regarding the website could occur, resulting in the website having to go offline temporarily. This will ultimately mean that people will not be able to access the website, and so could turn to competitors of the offline news site.
