How newspapers involvereaders’ emotions
By being a medium that is read rather than seen or heard
Immediate and personal connection made between what is being read and the reader
Reading material effectively short-circuits straight to close emotional connection
It’s more personal with the paper …you’re taking it in
more because you are reading it
By being a medium that requires immersion
Involvement created by reading is often intense because of having to immerse oneself in what is being read
By being a medium that is experienced differently
Reading the newspaper is a different experience from watching TV. The result is different as well
To read a newspaper is ‘to feel’
To read is for the information ‘to sink in deeper’
By giving readers what they want, what they care about

what’s happening
