Malaysia as a developing country has seen a lot of development in terms of information Technology recently. Such development plainly sparks chain reaction to other fields as well, such as the electronic media and to be definite the newspaper. Just a decade ago there was only a handful of on-line newspapers in Malaysia but at the time this report is written, there are 23 on-line newspapers which are currently active in Malaysia.
The newspaper publishers are as a matter of fact in a dilemma, they are caught in a situation where they can select to go against the It mainstream, that is to stay as an offline newspaper publishers or they can select to corollary the mainstream and that is to go on-line. But whether way there is a risk involved - if they select to stay offline, they risk of losing to their competitors as in the news enterprise time is crucial: The one who brings the news the fastest to the readers is the winner.

On the other hand, if they select to corollary the crowd or mainstream, they are losing their income from the existing readers as being on-line means free reading. Of course, the content can be tailored or trimmed down so that the paid version has much value-for-money element in it but then again it is a break or make decision to make.
As of now, I can only reckon that there are more good than bad to go on-line for the newspaper publishers in Malaysia as apparently there has been no case where a newspaper publisher has gone bust. Hopefully, such trend will continue and there will be more online newspaper in Malaysia in the future.
