The newspaper business may be in danger

This is not saying that they are not bringing in money anymore. They are still making a lot of them. The trouble is, investors are not seeing a bright future ahead of newspaper printing.

In coming to terms with the digital world, the printers of these publications are trying their best to digitize their newspapers and getting them into the internet, video and the newest one, podcasts. The many result of polling and surveys are not helping any either. Seems many American people are spending more time online, on the telephones, radio and games and punching the remote controls.

For all its conveniences that have proven over the years, newspapers simply have its drawbacks too. For once, you cannot read them while doing something else like driving. Someone still has to read them out instead of just listening to them or just glancing into it once in a while. It is no wonder why they may be getting out of the media industry in time if actions are not taken quickly.

There are lots of printing and media technology emerging already. If it offers more convenience, then why would people choose the old ways and styles when they can have the β€œin’” thing? I think this question should be considered first before wondering why.
