Re: The Failing Newspaper Industry is Hurting America's Democracy
The newspaper industry has changed a lot since it's "hay-day," but I fail to see the connection between it and Democracy. Democracy, by definition, is there for the people, not for dying industries. With the majority of people receiving their news online, or other sources, the newspaper industry has been forced to try and find an alternative.
The people in this economy are winning by not having to pay to get their news. Many sources are available other than the newspaper, as well. Television is a popular source for news, e.g. The Daily Show as seen in Lecture.
The people need a credible, and reliable form of receiving their news. They can find quicker updates, and get them on a world-wide scale. The internet is constantly becoming more and more advanced, and soon will be able to replace the newspaper printing industry as a whole.
