Today's newspapers are on the down fall. With the help of blogs, facebook, twitter, and things of that nature (which directly contribute to this theme) newspapers are no longer top priority. Our society has become a society that relies heavily on citizen journalsim. We also are more interested in the easy way to do things. That would be not having to have a physical copy of a paper or being able to read something online for free.
There is also a large population of people that can't live without having that newspaper every morning before they start their day. Newspapers inform people. Being an informed citizen is contributing to society. When one knows what's going on around them they are more likely to be engaged in the events and news happening around them.
It's unfortunate that this particular quandry is occuring. With the rise of citizen journalism it's hard to imagine a comeback of the newspaper.
