Newspapers
Publications circulations are down, all across the country. Some say that it is because of the liberal swing, the media bias towards Obama.
This is a stretch. The trend has been a move away from print publications for a while now because almost everyone has access to the internet where all major and minor news sources live. One need not blacken her fingers in an attempt to sure up awareness on current events. No! Now we need only click a link to gain access to the writings of left and right leaning contributors to all publications. And what a glorious thing it is! Now I can go to Al Jazeera, Wapo, CNN, Fox, BBC, NYT, as well as local sites, and tap into the views of other global occupants. I wonder what the numbers are for traffic to news sites. I guarantee that especially during this election season that they are multiplying exponentially.
There's also the fantastic additional benefit that we are saving trees by reducing the number of print news sources. Going online, going paperless is a green move, and everyone can feel good about it.
So, I am all for the demise of the newspaper. I believe they served their purpose but their time has come.
