The success of online journalism

When the world wide web became available to the general public in 1991, it seemed interesting for the newspapers of the time to offer news articles for free and without showing advertisements. The intention was that their paper newspaper would appeal to the then small group of internet users. The website was actually regarded as one big advertisement for the newspaper.

However, the internet has evolved over the years into a very popular news source and readers have become accustomed to the free online news, state of media also noted. Larger news brands often lock content behind a paywall, but for smaller editorial teams and at niche websites such as tech news, this is usually not a viable revenue model.

Rise of ad blockers

Advertisements are an important source of income for many news websites. Only in recent years the use of adblockers has increased strongly, according to figures from Statista. It therefore happens more and more that internet users no longer support the content they find important, often without being aware of the consequences for news editors or content creators.

That’s why we ask you to whitelist Androidworld with your adblocker if you find our news articles, podcasts, videos and reviews valuable. The Androidworld editors and the entire team thank you very much for your support!
