104. Principle of Multimedia Journalism Writing Local content drives growth True Corp expanded its consumer broadband revenue by more than 50% in Q1, helping to offset a 7% decline its fixed-line business. True president and CEO Supachai Chearavanont tells group editor Joseph Waring why local content and WiMAX are key to its continued expansion across Thailand นายศุภชัย เจียรวนนท์ ประธานเจ้าหน้าที่บริหาร บริษัท ทรู คอรปอเรชั่น จำกัด ผู้นำในธุรกิจอินเตอร์เน็ตความเร็วสูงของไทย เปิดเผยว่า แนวโน้มของการใช้อินเตอร์เน็ตบรอดแบนด์ของไทย กำลังเติบโตสูง และเขาคาดหวังว่า เนื้อหา หรือ Content ภาษาไทย จะเป็นแรงผลักดันที่สำคัญที่ทำให้ธุรกิจอินเตอร์เน็ตบรอดแบนด์เติบโตสูงในอนาคตอันใกล้ The content that is available will help us promote the broadband service to make it more tangible to users. The Internet market in Thailand is currently dominated by foreign content. But more and more local content is now being promoted. I believe that is the key to Internet penetration growth in Thailand.

132. Online Papers Modestly Boost Newspaper Readership A decade ago, just one-in-fifty Americans got the news with some regularity from what was then a brand new source the internet. Today, nearly one-in-three regularly get news online.
133. But the growth of the online news audience has slowed considerably since 2000, particularly among the very young, who are now somewhat less likely to go online for news than are people in their 40s. For the most part, online news has evolved as a supplemental source that is used along with traditional news media outlets. It is valued most for headlines and convenience, not detailed, in-depth reporting. Broadcast news outlets continue to struggle over the last two years alone, the audiences for nightly network, local TV news and radio news have all slipped. Even so, the recent trends in news consumption are relatively stable when compared to the 1990s when TV news in particular was suffering losses of far greater magnitude.
