Newspapers; Why are You Still Around?
If your between the age 13 - 29 then you probably don't get the newspaper. We had a lecture about newspapers a couple of weeks ago and it really made me understand why they are significant. I used to think that newspapers are just for elders that don't know how to use a computer. But my teacher explained why they are still important.
First they are affordable which makes it easy for people who don't have Internet to know what's going on in the world. Second it has diverse content meaning that it has a little something for everyone in the family. Newspapers are also non linear meaning that you can skip all over the paper rather than reading it page to page which makes it convenient if you don't want to watch the news just to see a story at the very end of the show.
The one I think is the most important is that it's tradition. Newspapers are part of history and people want to remember them. Aside from having award winning stories New York Times is still in business because it is part of American history and I think that newspapers aren't going anywhere anytime soon.
