IT Revolution Won’t Kill Newspapers says Samsung CEO

Samsung Electronics president Hwang Chang-gyu on Sunday sought to reassure print journalists that new IT media will not spell the end for newspapers, which allow people access to

“important and deep information in an orderly way.”

In a keynote address on “Inspiration of the Semiconductor for Ubiquitous Media” at the 58th World Newspaper Congress, which opened in Seoul on Sunday, Hwang said,

“Despite the appearance of new media forms due to the IT revolution, newspapers will maintain and, in fact, consolidate their position.”
