In this area, Print Media is many steps ahead of Digital or 
Electronic Media. Whatever information is printed goes 
through a tight process of reevaluation and source check 
cause once it is printed it can’t be undone whereas 
Digital or Electronic Media is home to fake news cause 
it's hard to find the source of the news.
