UFO Magazine is DEAD

The difference between a real paper media and an on line publication is that the first require a bit more effort. There are quality on line sites off-course but its easier to fake. You can fake paper media too, sure, but it takes money and connections to do it. You have to print the paper, distribute it, keep some form of staff to write the articles and either buy or take pictures yourself. Its the same thing with a real book. It require a bit off effort, that a publisher believe in you and so on.

Online mags today can be published by any nerdy teen with an Internet connection and some computer skills. Its very easy to make a website and use a language that make visitors feel like its a big publication run by professionals. When it in many cases really is just someone sitting in his apartment rewriting what other people already did.

Today when people doesn't fully appreciate real journalism and quality photography, we are loosing something really really important. We are beginning to loose all those skilled investigating journalists that investigate not only science but also who investigate and keep all our governments on their toes.

If this continues, the only thing we will have left is online tabloids who gossip about celebrities and use Facebook pictures in their articles. Politicians will have no one watching them and we will all become a bit more stupid from it.
