Is the Economy to Blame?

Thursday, July 9, 2009

Looking for some recent news on the future of newspapers, I was able to stumble across this opinion editorial http://www.baxterbulletin.com/article/20090709/OPINION01/907090319/1014/OPINION.

In this article it debates the reasons that newspapers might be seeing their last days. In the article it does not as much blame the fact that people are becoming more reliable on the Internet or television but blames the economy. It tells the story of a couple news papers that have either shut down or forced to lay off most of their staff. The Detroit Free Press has had to force home paper delivery to only three days a week.

This is all huge for the newspaper industry as well as the rest of the Media outlets. If the recession is the reason that the papers are going under than what is to say that another media source would not be next such as TV stations. How long can these mediums stay afloat? Who knows but hopefully the economy will start rising back up so no more jobs will be lost.
