The document compares and contrasts e-editions and web editions of newspapers. E-editions are digital versions of printed newspapers that maintain the same layout. Web editions present news in a website format, including brief stories, photos, videos and links. E-editions focus on one geographic area while web editions provide a wider range of information sources from around the world. Both reduce costs compared to print but e-editions more closely resemble the traditional newspaper experience.
