Are Newspapers out?
With so much advancement in technology almost everyone today knows how to use a computer or some sort of electronic device. This has had a huge impact on the world of jounalism. News sources are now using the internet and internet outlets such as twitter and facebook as ways of getting news out. This has caused newspaper needs to decrease tremendously. People are now looking to the internet for a "quick fix" on their news info. They no longer have to wait for newspapers, or sit and read long paper articles. News access has become so much easier and more common. People get all the info they need with the click of a button, or by reading a 120 character tweet. This has caused numerous newspapers to stop production. Traditionalists of the journalism world may not be happy about this new form of news, but they are going to have to get used to it because it doesn't look like the internet is going to get any less popular anytime soon.

Newspapers (the real paper ones) may be in trouble, and so might news. We are not talking about replacing the physical newspaper with technology, we are changing the way people absorb information. And with so much out there we have become people standing in a rain storm. We can't absorb any more.
