R.I.P Newspaper
The article discusses the idea that newspapers are becoming extinct. If society has stopped reading.What does that mean for newspapers? Does this mean that if we have another president like Nixon, today he whould not have been brought down by the News media? the answer is no we as a society are bringing dirty politicians to light on our own accord. All each of us need is a isp, a computer, a keyboard, and a mouse to report the news of the nation as well as the world. the newspapers:
"Having ignored reality for years, newspapers are at last doing something.
In order to cut costs, they are already spending less on journalism. Many
are also trying to attract younger readers by shifting the mix of their
stories towards entertainment, lifestyle and subjects that may seem more
relevant to people's daily lives than international affairs and politics
are."
As a person that no longer reads the paper or watchs the news, i say "save the
trees, stop printing and get online, newspaper corporations. Allow the trees
to do what they were put on earth provide(oxygen). After all , the news
instantaneously becomes the past while its being written, so leave
the trees alone.

Trees are important and you can make an argument for saving paper. However, newspapers are evolving, not disappearing. They are moving more of their activities online. The reports of their demise are over-stated. There are new economic pressures that are leading to cut-backs due to loss of circulation and advertising revenue. What becomes of the reporting? Can we just eliminate a significant percentage of reporters without causing a crisis in hard news? Remember, this is not just about the newspaper business, this is about the role of journalism in a democracy.
