Highlighting importance to print media, Bangladesh Pratidin Editor Naem Nizam said there is no alternative to print version of the newspapers being a perpetual piece of document and evidence.
The western world which earlier shifted to online portal has returned to print version due to this reason, he said.
He came up with the remark while addressing a function marking the English newspaper Daily Sun’s 10th anniversary at its office Saturday morning.
Prophesies of many experts that online news portals will take the place of print version are not coming true, he said, adding many newspapers in the developed countries, including the USA, are returning to print version.
