Newspapers

Prompt: Argue whether or not newspapers are a thing of the past. Are newspaper chains good or bad for journalism (and why or why not?)

Personally, I think newspapers are a thing of the past. They're cool and everything, but they're a bit outdated. They're not as convenient of a way to get information as radio is, and radio isn't exactly as convenient of a method to obtain information as television is. Newspaper chains are good for journalism though because it's nice to have different mediums for people to be able to access journalism through. This is because everyone has different preferences, and while I feel like television is a better way of getting up to date on the news, someone else might have a different opinion and feel like reading actual newspapers is a much better way of obtaining information.
