That's right, the speech I gave last week was in the Gakunan Asahi this week. Did you see it?
I was IN the newspaper. You use IN for newspapers and other print media.
I was not ON the Internet.
I wasn't ON TV, either.
Why is it IN for newspapers and magazines but ON for the Internet and TV? I'm not really sure. It's just something you have to get used to!

I know! TV and Internet, for those monitor-related media, it's just the matter of you appearing ON its surface. For printed media such as books, magazines, newspaper, or even letters, you can be IN them since either readers care about the contents deeper than what they get from TV or Internet, or simply you can fold the paper and feel those are more physical! You also say "on stage" and "in the movie"...so yeah, it would be easier to get used to without thinking too much! Practice makes perfect, right? Imagination can surely help you, too.
