The decline in political participation have definitely made a crucial impact on the world of newspapers. Without the reporters adding in vital information to story's, can affect the news that is reported. Recording important information is also a vital aspect of the field of journalism. Democracy by definition is "for the people, by the people." That being said it is very important that journalist do not stop reporting the content at which the public eye needs to be educated on.
Democracy will ultimately be around the United States forever, under our constitutional rights, unfortunately the same cannot be said about journalistic reports that you can find on print. The era of dead tree reporting is slowly fading away into a abyss. The new online approach is dominant amongst americans as well as many other countries. Do to the decline in political participation in the media, the audience may get more of a partisan approach. One that would seemingly be found across the pond.
