Chapter 8

1. What kinds of stories, topics or issues are not being covered well by mainstream papers?

I think that mainstream papers only try to capture the attention of the older population. The only section that I personally reach for in the sports sectgion and that is because I know that those stories will be more apealing to me. I dont get into most of the stories in the newspaper. So i think that maybe they should start trying to publish more stories that a younger generation would want to hear about. Everyone is always saying that the youth has no idea what is goin on in the world. That is because we dont even attempt to pick up a paper becasue we know there is probably nothing in there that we care about.

3. Will blogs and other internet news services eventually replace newspapers? Explain your response.

I personally dont believe that they will replace them. Sure everyone loves to be on the computer and they read the news on the computer but it doesnt beat the fact that you can read a newspaper anywhere becasue you can take it anywhere you want. Normally people dont just carry about their computers and pull them out and start reading. The fact that the newspaper is lightweight and portable ispart of the reason that I believe blogs or other internet news services will not replace newspapers.
