Physical or Digital

There are many ways in which writing is different when it comes to physical and digital. One of the most crucial ways that they differ is when it comes to the amount of reading that is done. It is proven that people will read more when they are reading something on paper rather than online. Although people read less when reading something online, it is easy to hook them in and get a point across.

Another crucial part of being a digital writer is you should put the important part of your article at the beginning and work backwards, this will get your point across to your reader before they move on. You should also chop up your writing on the web. It keeps it flowing well and is easy on the eyes. It would also be a good idea to be brief. “Writing for digital media” by Brian Carroll says that Writing should be clear and concise. Readers need little reason not to read further, and this is especially and painfully true online. Prune your prose (7).

Writing on the web and writing on paper change the way we view what is written. This is why it is important to understand how to write for each. There are many differences when it comes to the physical and digital world, especially when it comes to reading and writing.
