I think that newspapers as we know them are slowly dying out. The internet is the major factor why, but also the abundance of television news stations is also playing a factor. Most people today, seem to want to have everything now, they don't want to wait around for anything. With newspapers, you have to wait til it is delievered every morning(unless it is a weekly paper), and by the time you get it and read it, the news is already old and more stuff has happened that needs to be reported. This new news will be readily available online and on t.v., along with the news that is in the paper. The newspaper use to be the major source of local news with some national and international news, but now there are local news stations, which have internet sites of their own to compete against the internet sites of the local newspapers.
