The newspaper is a dieing method of communication that is outdated and virtually obsolete. With people able to get business and news updated instantaneously on the internet, why would they want to buy a paper with the news from the day before?? Businesses go through cycles like this all the time. This forces companies in the communications industry to inovate and reinvent themselves.
The problem is the newspaper companies are lazy and don't want to do this. We already have government ran television (PBS) and government ran radio (NPR) we don't need government ran newspapers. Newspapers are supposed to put the government to task when they are doing wrong, who will want to do that now when their government is the one signing their paycheck??
Saving the newspaper industry because we are nostalgic for it is lunacy. Congress is considering this soon, don't let them go unchecked. No bailouts for newspapers. Contact your local represenatives.
