With the steady increase of the internet, it is becoming increasingly hard for other forms of news like newspapers to survive. With hundreds of websites dedicated to informing people on news, it is becoming much easier for people to become informed. The internet has become integrated with many mobile devices allowing people to easily check things wherever they are. Many of these news companies like CNN, CBC, BBC, Global News, and many others are using the web for a way to communicate information to other people. Even many newspaper companies like the New York Times, have online versions of their newspapers, which forces us to ask the question, is it even necessary to continue to print newspapers?
Many will argue that newspapers still serve a purpose. Mainly to the older generation and to those who prefer to read something that is a hard copy, I know many people that still do this. Some people just prefer it compared to a digital copy, but the way that the world is evolving when it comes to technology, is it going to be possible for people to read a newspaper in 10 years?
The signs are clear and now it’s just a matter of figuring out when the time will come with newspapers will officially die. Newspapers have been struggling to survive because they simply can not bring in as much profit as they use to be able too. And with free access to internet and websites, who wants to pay for a newspaper?
