The Printed Word is in Decline!

Newspapers and Magazines are in decline due to the direct competition of the internet. A newspaper , you used to buy it to find out what was going on around the world but now the internet has changed everything. You can just walk over to your computer and search for whatever news you are interested in. This can range from sport to more serious issues such as the Arab Uprisings. The Newspaper cost money whereas when you search on the computer it is completely free. Newspapers only give you the view of one journalist but the internet allows you to read the opinions of many people through blogs and other similar innovations. The newspaper  businesses future looks bleak but they can do something to prevent their companies from going bust. They could shift the entire company  on line. All the articles  could be placed on a website and gain money through advertising.

Magazines on the other hand look a bit stronger as many of these  magazines are all about gossip. Many people love to read about things like this but  it is not safe from potential competition either. They face the same problems as newspapers but since the latter started before it might be their end. Magazines are newer than Newspapers therefore it will take longer  for a change to occur. This is simply down to human laziness and unwillingness to change!
