Firstly, we can look at the color. Screen design definitely attract more people looking at the pictures and graphics because it has more vibrant color compare to print document. Besides, it has higher resolution and thus provide a clearer outlook to the audience.

Secondly, the writing structure. For the screen design, we can write it in any way or style that we like. And for the font size, it can be adjust to how big or small you like. Unlike the print document design, they have to follow the procedure of formality in terms of the design and style.

Thirdly, for the screen design, we can put hyperlink in some sentence for further information. Besides, we can also insert along video and music to enhance the news as well as a chatbox for people to leave comment about how they feel, or suggestion regarding about the news. However, many people still like to read newspaper in the old ways which is printed way because if we read from screen computer, we have to scroll up and down and this tend to make us read slower. Print newspaper have a well-organized system in its layout which enable reader to read on it without any hassle because it content is usually fit into a specific size of paper such as A5 with words and picture only.
