Newspaper readership collapsing as people turn to alternative news for truthful reporting
Traditional, mainstream print news appears to be on the brink of collapse as more and more people turn to independent, primarily online news sources for information. A recent report from Financial Times explains how, from almost every angle, print newspapers are taking a major hit, not only with declines in readership, but also in flailing advertising revenues.
Last year, the Pew Project for Excellence in Journalism put out its The State of the News Media 2011 report which found that more Americans now get their news from online sources rather than from print sources (http://www.technolog.msnbc.msn.com). And even though traditional newspapers are increasingly making the migration online, they are still losing $7 in print ads for every dollar in online ads they gain.
News outlets that began online rather than in print seem to be faring just fine, on the other hand, as their advertising and other revenue sources were natively designed for the online environment to begin with. But for traditional mainstream news outlets that began in print, many of which are now owned by corporate conglomerates, the situation is dire.
The controlled media is being exposed as a fraud on every front
However, it is not simply that print is becoming "out of style" so much as it is that print news is largely controlled news, which an increasing number of Americans are growing to distrust. More than half of all Americans, in fact, have indicated that they do not trust the mainstream media to report fair, accurate, and balanced news, which is why many of them have turned to alternative news sources like NaturalNews and InfoWars for independent, full-disclosure coverage of current events (http://www.naturalnews.com/033667_mainstream_media_public_trust.html).

Hasn't anyone seen Star Trek, primarily The Next Generation?
Times change for the Future!
I know for a FACT that on two items.
In 1974 my father lost his job as there was no more need for TYPESETTERS as computers came into play!
My hobby of Photography has changed over the years, and now instead of film to develop and make prints from it is now all Digital!

It just goes to show ya that people are sick and tired of the lies and pablum they get from mainstream news. They can either start reporting the truth or go bankrupt. It's their choice.
