The future of the newspaper

Summary

This article in essence talks about the newspaper industry falling apart. It further explains how newspapers are trying to stay afloat amongst the lack of revenue that they're making. In the eyes of advertisers, newspapers aren't profitable which would further cripple the newspapers as another mode of revenue is slowly going away. This article also talks about how losing the newspapers wouldn't be as grave as people think. The use of internet would compensate and that information would be available in a more accessible and convenient way. 

What I think

In my opinion, I agree totally agree with the statement that the newspaper industry dying out isn't something to panic over. Although many jobs would be lost and many businesses will fail, the benefit that digital news provides users would compensate for the loss of the newspaper. However, with the newspaper industry in decline it would mean that the standard of news and journalism would fall because of the lack of revenue these companies are generating.
