The oldest example of an online newspaper or in this case a weekly summary over the weekend's news is the Weekend City Press Review, set  up in 1991 this was a pioneer in the online market.

The true online only paper is a paper that does not have any hard copy connections. There are some newspapers which are predominantly an online newspaper, but also provide limited hard copy publishing.

By the late 1990s, the availability of news via 24-hour television channels and then the Internet posed an ongoing challenge to the business model of most newspapers in developed countries. Paid circulation has declined, while advertising revenue, which makes up  the bulk of most newspapers’ income, has been shifting from print to  
the new media, resulting in a general decline in profits. Many newspapers around the world launched online editions in an attempt to follow or stay ahead of their audience.

However, in the rest of the world, cheaper printing and distribution, increased literacy, the growing middle class and other factors have  more than compensated for the emergence of electronic media and  newspapers continue to grow.

On April 10, 1995, The American Reported became the first daily  newspaper, with its own paid reporters around the world and all- original content, to start on the Internet. The editor-in-chief and  founder is Joe Shea.  The site is owned by 400 journalists.

The future of newspapers in countries with easy internet access has  been widely debated as the industry has faced down soaring newsprint  prices, slumping ad sales, the loss of much classified advertising and  precipitous drops in circulation.

Virtually all printed newspapers have online editions. The development  of electronic newspapers, will very soon be supplementing hard-copy  printed papers via electronic paper.

The strength of India's print press is, however, in part down to the weakness of its online offerings. This is hardly surprising. For all  the country's vaunted IT prowess, only 6.9% of Indians regularly surf  the web. Apart from a smattering of web-exclusive news, newspaper websites tend to be a photocopy of print editions. They are dependent  on wire services like PTI, Reuters, and the like, to fill online  column inches. Most regional and vernacular newspaper websites are infamous for shoddy user interfaces and broken links.

However, there is a need to maintain 24x7 power supply and connectivity to make the online newspaper more popular in future.
