The News is not Dead

I do not believe that the news is dead. On the contrary, I think the news is evolving into its next stage. Sam Pollock, editor of Oneonta's Daily Star seemed very confident that the newspaper industry will not die. Newspapers might "die" as a hard source, but newspaper companies will continue through their websites. Periodicals such as The New York Times are charging costumers for the news and are doing quite well. The News has become something that is "winged" because we have instant access to stories on the internet. The digital age gives news companies the opportunity to release a story and update it as additional information surfaces. Online periodicals also expose you to additional stories through suggestions. Cell phone journalists are emerging and saving the news because they are an unlimited source to the news companies. Now, everyone can generate news, whether on their cell phones or on social sites such as Twitter and Facebook.
