When radio and television started broadcasting news, people were concerned about the future of print media. However there was still room in the market for the newspaper. This was still the case when the internet became commonplace in homes. While many people go online for their news, others are still buying newspapers. Experts say that this may change with the growing use of the iPad and smartphone devices.
Ten or fifteen years ago when a person wanted the details of a business they would reach for the Yellow Pages. Thanks to the internet this is no longer the case. There is simply no need to flick through a ridiculously thick book for information when one can get it with the click of a mouse. Unfortunately many businesses have failed to see that print is a dying medium. Read more about Yellow Pages Attempts to be More Sustainable
Have you watched CNN's show, "Reliable Sources?" It explores how media affect the stories they cover and how the news media covers stories in general. While a little on the "lightweight" side as far as criticism of the news media, it is nice to have a show on a mainstream media outlet dedicated to this topic.
The show started in 1992 and early on they seemed to focus on how the media was covering the Persian Gulf War. It is hosted by Howard Kurtz who interviews various reporters and others involved in the news media but he also often interjects his own perspective into the conversation. The show airs weekly at 11:00 a.m. EST and 8:00 a.m PST.

Maybe we've gotten spoiled. We used to think nothing of paying for quality news. Back in the days of newsstands and paperboys, it made perfect sense for us to shell out a few quarters in exchange for a thick sheaf of inky paper that we'd read while waiting for the bus. Why on earth would we expect to get it for free?
While we may not be doing much reading of the newspapers anymore, we can certainly do our share of misinterpreting them. I have always appreciated an easily misdirected headline--one that was concocted by a writer with a subtle sense of humor or maybe just an oblivious editor who needed to brush up on their double entendres. Headlines aren't an obsolete art, but they just don't pack the same punch as they used to. The layouts of our news sites--even the major, supposedly classy ones--are just so cluttered with ads and photos and other junk that the headline doesn't hold the same power it once did. It doesn't have the same weight online as it did in print, none of the same gravity or command. Maybe that's why illustrator Eric Wedum chooses to render his deliberately misinterpreted headlines as newspaper clippings.
Like No Strings Attached and Love and Other Drugs, Morning Glory has the very annoying premise that in order to be successful at work (or even just to be a not-so-successful person at work who just ends up being a workaholic, I guess?), a woman must sacrifice everything else in her life—from social outings to relationships to pretty much anything besides work itself. If that were the basis of the entire film, I would write it off and recommend that you not see it—as I did with the previous two. Read more about Morning Glory is Worth the Watch
This feels like one of those things where you want to scream “I told you so!” but you don’t really know who to scream it at. When the eReaders came out, I knew they would help usher out the joy of printed books, and though I still cling to the hope that they’ll never completely die out, here we are, with Borders, one of the biggest book chains in the country, closing its doors for good.

You know, newspapers and other printed media are already on the decline; perhaps papers should think twice before alienating the few readers they have left. Read more about Tell Arkansas Paper to Apologize
