In spite their popularity among Nigerian readers, online news portals and other social media platforms will only play complementary roles to hard copy newspapers , the Managing Director of a weekly tabloid The Point newspaper , Mrs. Yemi Kolapo , has said.
She spoke to journalists in Lagos recently on the advantage the print media has over digital, stating that the insinuation in some quarters that digital media is a threat to traditional media is not a true reflection of what happens among Nigerian readers.
Kolapo noted that various online platforms and blogs play complementary roles for the print , and that print media still remains the most credible and trusted source of information to readers across board .
