Are newspapers a thing of the past?  |
|
 I was doing a discussion about where we get all our news and someone mentioned the newspaper. It made me think when the last time was that I even read one! I haven't read a national or state one in years I guess! With the internet it seems all at my fingertips! I do read a small local paper occasionally... What do you think, are newspapers soon to be a thing of the past?

1.  lilaclady (19770) | 7 months ago |  I think most people still like the newspaper, I don't get them mainly because I have to cut back on many things at the moment and the newspaper was one of them...but it is nice being able to sit down and read the daily news...

| macdingolinger (1271) | 7 months ago | Yeah, I always liked it when I subscribed to the paper and could sit and peruse through the news while sipping my morning coffee! I don't subscribe any more either. I did use them a lot in the classroom when I taught school though! | |

| macdingolinger (1271) | 7 months ago | Hey! Yep, it seems more are moving to getting the news online rather than the "old-fashioned" way! I did use papers when I taught school they were very handy for both English/writing and math! | |

3.  happy6162 (2543) | 7 months ago |  I get most of my news from the tv new. some comes from the internet and sometimes i buy a local newspaper and get it was there. i think we will still have the newspapers but some of them will probably go out of business because of lack of sales.

|
|
| macdingolinger (1271) | 7 months ago | Yeah, I figure the sales of most newspapers have dropped drastically since the interet and even television are so prominent, and inexpensive! If the news is available from other sources, I am not likely to purchase another means which is only telling me the same thing at an added expense! | |

| 4. THEcreationist (445) | 7 months ago |  Hi, macdingolinger.
I think the newspapers are still in common use and are not going to be eliminated in the near future. There are mainly two reasons for that.
-> Still, a large part of the world does not have access to other resources of news.
-> Newspapers provide localized news also (i.e.) news for that very city or village a person lives in. Other media forms don`t provide this localization. That`s why people still need newspapers.

| macdingolinger (1271) | 7 months ago | You are correct. We tend to forget that there is not the access to intrnet or other sources in every place in the world! Where I am even the internet access is limited. | |

| 5. gadget_lover (73) | 7 months ago | The newspapers are very much present here in India. Even though newspapers are available on internet, people like to read them.
I myself subsribed to the newspaper and they deliver everyday in the morning at my doorstep. | |

| macdingolinger (1271) | 7 months ago | I do enjoy reading a newspaper when i get a chance. There is something about sitting and taking your time, sipping a cup of java and reading through the paper! | |

| 7. prinzcy (2169) | 7 months ago |  I still read newspaper. We are provided free newspaper daily in the staff room. I get my daily dosage there (except for weekend of course) I also buy Sunday Times. Sometimes I might miss it since it sold out fast. I love the Wonderword it provided inside. Also the Sunday paper has special issue.

|
| macdingolinger (1271) | 7 months ago | Here the Sunday paper usually contains coupons!! That's great, but I don't usually buy one for myself! I do read the samll local paper as it is provided by some business for the facility where I stay. I like to read the fun stuff but don't take too much stock in the news! | |

| macdingolinger (1271) | 7 months ago | You know, that's right. It is cheaper to get the newspaper than the internet. However, I haven't found a way to make money with the paper... lol! I bet there's a way though! I do enjoy reading through a paper no matter where I am! | |
