1 The Death of News? The End of the Newspaper is Nigh! The first ever titled newspaper, Corante, was published in London in the year In fact, the printed newspaper has been a successful business model for over 300 years. However, now with Internet news sites and blogs, the traditional print newspaper is under threat. In December 2008, Tribune Company, owner of the Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune and the Baltimore Sun and other dailies, went bankrupt. It is one of many broadsheet and tabloid newspapers that have recently experienced financial difficulties. In the U.S. it is estimated that 20% of newspaper journalist jobs have been lost since According to experts, about two-thirds of local newspapers in Britain will have disappeared by Another recent survey suggests just 19% of 18- to-34-year-olds read a newspaper every day. In contrast, 37% watch local TV news and 44% visit Internet news sites daily. Although people buy less newspapers, online news and blogs, are increasingly popular. There are many sites online to get your news. But are these new alternative news sources trustworthy? Only real news companies can afford to hire real journalists to do real journalism. Other news sources simply report the news that the big papers investigate. Equally, blogs are always personal comment on the news, so are always biased. So, ultimately, yes, traditional newspapers are in trouble. But is it the death of news? The short answer is no. Nevertheless, newspapers do need to use new technology creatively and find new ways to make money in order to survive. Preparatory Reading 1. What news company went bankrupt? 2.
