1. Many metropolitan daily newspapers have lost circulation and some have shut down. Why? Any examples? Community newspapers however,especially suburban weeklies, are booming. Why? Any examples?
In the news world today, the internet seems to be the fastest, easiest, and most up-to-date way to receive news. It's free and you can get it off your phone, on your lap top, or any where else you can get the internet. I think the internet has made a huge impact on newspapers today. I know a lot of people don't subscribe to newspapers anymore. My parents just moved to a different part of the state, and I highly doubt they'll order the newspaper anymore, just because they can get it so easily on their computers and it's cheaper. I know most of my siblings don't get the newspaper either. We are coming to a generation where the internet is starting to take over a lot of the news business. I just looked up an article on the New York Times that said they were laying 550 people from their company.
Community newspapers, on the other hand, are probably getting more business because they hit closer to home. In a community newspaper, you can find out about local news, like what's happening with the people you know. By doing research over the internet I found out that the suburban papers are doing better because of their increase in circulation, readership loyalty, and ad revenues. Examples of booming newspapers are the Washington, D.C. suburban papers, which are booming right now.
