Online-only

With the introduction of the Internet, web-based “newspapers” have also started to be produced as online-only publications, like the Southport Reporter.[14] To be a Web-Only newspaper they must be web published only and must not be part of or have any connection to hard-copy formats. To be classed as an Online Only Newspaper, the paper must also be regularly updated at a regular time and keep to a fixed news format[citation needed], like a hardcopy newspaper. They must also be only published by professional media companies and regarded under the national/international press rules and regulations[15] unlike blog[16] sites and other news websites, it is run as a newspaper and is recognized by media groups in the UK, like the NUJ and/or the IFJ. Also they fall under the UK’s PCC rules.
