The internet is causing lots of change in the news business. They will either adapt or go out of business.
The article says how hundreds of newspapers have gone under since the 1940s, due largely to afternoon papers going under due to TV competition. The internet could put other papers out of business.
And certainly part of it is that people don’t want to be spoon fed liberalism.
Even better, on the internet We the People can give feedback directly and immediately rather than the cherry picked, short, and likely heavily edited letter to the editor appearing a week or more later when most people have already made up their minds. Now we can confront their BS right on the spot, watering down it’s impact. Hey, they said that wanted Democracy. Be careful what you wish for I guess.
Hey, great screen name! I wish I’d thought of it!
The Internet won’t save them. They’ve lived for years on blue sky advertising rates, and now that ads can be monitored for effectiveness, and space presence on some blogs can work as well as a sidebar on a news”paper” web page, the writing is on the Internet wall. Good riddance, I’d say.
