Are Newspapers Dying?

What is your experience with newspapers?

I have almost to none experience with newspapers. The only time I ever read a news paper is for school.

How often (if ever) do you read them?

I never read them

Where do you get your news? (local, provincial or national newspapers/television news broadcasts/internet news sources)

Television news broadcasts and internet news sources.

Do you agree with the assertion that newspapers need to focus on local news stories in order to survive?

Yes and no because most people want to know what is going on around where they live, but we also want to know some stuff that is going on around the world. But we would like the news to be mostly be based on the thing that happen around here.

What other strategies do you feel may benefit newspapers?

I am not quit sure what can help them at this point and i don't think anything can.

Can newspapers even be saved, or do you feel that this isn’t something for newspapers to be concerned about? (aka, do you feel that the newspaper industry is not in danger).

No i believe that in about 15 to 20 years that the sales are going to go down and then soon after they are going to go compleatly out of style because everyone can get there news on the internet and they dont have to pay every time they want to see the news.

Do you think the Internet will become the main source of news and even a focus on local news will not save newspapers? Why or why not?

Yes because one you dont have to go out to get it, two you dont have to pay so much money to see it, three its easy.

Finally, where do you see the state of newspapers in 25 years?

In about 25 years i can see them being gone or close to it.
