Newspapers

It has long be talked that newspaper will disappear when Internet is becoming more and popular but in reality, the newspaper industry is still doing well. I think that while there are so much "news" that we can read from online media so easily, it is still preferable to actually holding a newspaper at the cafe or before breakfast to learn what is happening around the world. The fact the story usually goes deeper in the newspaper makes them still my favorite.

i hope they never fully convert to online..my bro will be out a job,he drives a truck for one.i agree it would be nice if there was an online archive though.

I'll try once more... keep getting this message: unable to post content. please modify your text to only include letters, numbers, and standard punctuation. When I had to pull up some of the floor to address a plumbing problem in my last house, I found some newspapers from the 1800s. They were in great shape. I gave them to the local historical society. When I had part of the kitchen floor pulled up in this house, I found newspapers from the 50s between the different layers of linoleum. They weren't in as good condition, but I kept a couple pages.

Yes, its true internet is dominating the world now a days. No one has the patience to go through the newspaper. But i never refuse newspaper, i go through atleast once a day.

Sadly newspapers are slowly disapearing. I dont suscribe to any newspaper. I get my news online or tv. My parents still suscribe to our hometown newspaper. I think the local newspapers are doing better than the national ones. At least in my area.

Newspapers will not go out of fashion come what may. It is here to stay till the end of the world. Internet is not accessible to each and every one on the globe. We at home have the computer but still reading newspaper in the morning is like a bedtea.

Hi, momie. Newspapers are not valued the same as before ever since the Internet was invented. Compared with the Internet, newspapers have many disadvantages. First, to print newspapers, the newspaper offices have to use a lot of paper which has to be made from woods. It has been long worried by many people that we're cutting woods to the point of excess. From the sense of enviromental protection, newspapers do more harm to the enviroment than the Internet. Second, the Internet often provides a more quick update of news than newspaper. Well, I do not mean that newspapers have nothing good. They are more convenient to carry. We see many people in buses or subway reading newspapers. Yet, to scan news on the Internet, we'll first have to make sure our computers are hooked to the Internet, which might be impossible for those living in remote places. So newspapers help those who haven't enough time or Internet access to keep up with the latest news. Overall, both newspapers and Internet have their respective advantages. We should make use of them according to our own preference.

Yes, I agree with you. I do read the news on the internet. But, I never miss reading the newspaper every morning too. I have been subscribing to a newspaper of my City for many years, and I enjoy reading every section of the paper.

even noe we have e newspapers...the only thing is that as the technology is improving the cultural way of expressing things are diminishing...but we should get used to it ...we have to get accoustomed with the new trend... who can give this great feeling...morning hot coffee on one side newspaper on the other with a view of the garden...great things to have...hmm.. have a great day

hi momiecat, Newspaper have been threatened since internet has become popular and i know many houses where they dont subscribe to any newspaper or magazine. In our house we always get two newspaper and 3 magazines. Times of India and Hindustan Times are two papers we subscribe to . I never read paper online and i dont feel like reading a paper if it is online and yes despite the popularity of internet over newspaper, the paper is here to stay and still most people enjoy their morning tea with newspaper.

Yes, newspapers nowadays is already replaced with news organization who provides news services via websites. It's actually pretty alarming because sooner or later, newspapers will already become a thing of the past! I only read newspapers just for reading opinions and the entertainment sections. Headline news can actually be found on websites and television and even on radios. Maybe people got bored with newspapers because they provide late news, unlike from television or in the internet wherein they provide news as it happens.

Internet is no substitue for newspapers. Despite growing use of internet, millions of people still read newspaers. Surely, newspapers are on decline.

it is true that the old newspapers are a wealth of knowledge, but in this day and age, I believe that trees should be let alone. The use of paper should die out, and the world should use computers are the main way of sharing information.
