Response to :You say Demise,I say Old News

"The newspaper is on its way out but like all legendary icons, its spirit will never die." Nicely put Pelzer, and you're absolutely right. Why don't we accept this change for the better and movie on, whats wrong with making a little history? The newspaper was just the beginning of this rapidly growing news industry, the internet is full blown going to win this battle, but what's the harm in that? I think we're ready for it.

For instance, Pelzer speaks of this "big Mac theory," once we take a bite of something we like we thrive for more, and newspapers are no good at fully satisfying that craving. Online news on the other hand, makes a living off that idea, its quick and conveniant. Especially for those who have wifi on their ipods or phones, its so easy to keep yourself updated no matter where you are in the world. Soon enough we will have come up with something new to override the current love for online news, but right now its newpapers that we as a society need to let go of, we can survive i promise.

In fact, Pelzer continues, "Folks, the internet surrounds and embraces us. And we love it." Indeed we do and as a result, the online news industry is growing rapidly like i mentioned before. As a result, more jobs nad companies are opening up. Therefore, this loss of job scare is nothing to fret about, there is plenty of room for more workers in the online industry, move on in!

It all comes down to moving forward, im not saying we should rush into anything, but a little change might do us all some good. The economys been on the fritz for a whole so i can understand why newspaper employees would be nervous about the Demise, but like i said, online news awaits. Get out there and get a feel for the new age! Hey, that can be the title of your first online article.. just sayin.
