Newspaper was an important source of information in the earlier 21st century. Aside from newspaper, everyone else couldn’t find up-to-date information anywhere else. However, in today’s developed countries, technologies are everywhere. Technologies provide us online resources, online readings, and instant update on news. From what was mentioned, it is very clear that later on in the years, newspaper will stop publishing.

Today, newspaper only survive on buyers ranging from 30 to 80 year old. Some of those who buy newspaper are only interested in the certain section of the news press. Younger ones tend to not buy newspaper and would rather read news off websites. This is what causes to the great decline in the market of newspaper.

Many people work in the newspaper industry; if newspaper companies were to stop publishing due to low demand, unemployment rate would increase a lot. When unemployment rate increases, the economy will eventually go in a downward trend. It is because the unemployed ones would have less money to afford buying products and services; and without the movement of trades, buying, and selling, the economy will remain low – economy crisis. Do you think that the newspaper companies will remain active in a generation or two?

I don’t think so.
