Digital news publications are the future.


A digital news publication is an online version of a conventional newspaper. There are various types of Digital news publications. 


E-edition 


An online or digital edition of a printed book, journal or newspaper is known as an E-edition. These can be read on a computer or a mobile device. These are laid out the same as a printed newspaper and have all the formatting intact. It includes advertisements, photographs and illustrations to gain the viewers’ attention. It is a preliminary version of the switch to a digital format from a printed one. It is, in actuality, published offline as a hard copy. These tend to be less costly if they are on a subscription.
