Over the past few decades our current generation has grown in a favor of obtaining news through online sources as opposed to an OLD FASHIONED newspapers-GO FIGURE. As a result a lot of old OLD FASHIONED news fans complain that this decrease in newspapers is creating a devolution. NEWS FLASH- we're not going down by any means, in fact we're taking it up a notch!
I mean obviously unlike newspapers not ALL online news sources are as 100% reliable and efficient but if this decrease is so terrible , than WHY IS IT NATURALLY HAPPENING? Clearly the American public favors the accessibility, timeliness, and free cost of online news for a reason. Sure sure maybe not all online news is completely credible but if you REALLY want lugitiment information, go to a LUGITAMENT NEWS SITE.
OKAY SPEAKING OF, whats whats with this nonsense about online news NOT being credible becasue theyre always rushing to post first? Isn't that the goal of all news industries INCLUDING NEWSPAPERS? A writer that works for a real news company is still going to get in trouble for posting false information EVEN IF ITS ONLINE.
The newspaper may at one point have been a cultural must have, but its not like if the newspaper industry does diminish into the oblivion of time that citizens will no longer be informed. WE THE PEOPLE of this democratic society have chosen online news, it wasn't like it was forced upon us. Unlike newspapers, online news not only provides us with the information we need to maintain civic culture in the united states, but its also always being updated at a constant rate- NO MORE WAITING TILL THE NEXT DAY.
OH AND whats with this 24 hour news network being blamed for the downfall of newspapers as if its soooo terrible to have news at any time of the day? Pleaseee spare me the horror of the non-existance negatives. If you want newspapers because you like having that tangible paper feeling in your hands, PRINT THE ARTICLE OUT.
