The New York Sun

The New York Sun was forced to print its last issue today, after losing more than a million dollars per month this year. This event relates to our class because it demonstrates the failing newspaper industry. It is possible that readers are turning to web-based news sources rather than physical newspapers, thus damaging the print industry. I support internet newspapers because they can be easily updated. They are also environment friendly and more accessible. Its a shame that the web is pushing the print industry out of business. However, I think that this shift in dominance is inevitable. Eventually, everything will be on the internet. I truly believe libraries will also experience the effects of this trend. I am eager to see how this pattern continues and changes the journalism world.
