The Future Of Newspaper

The traditional newspaper model was little changed over five hundred years from the year when these were published until recently. What is the future of the newspaper?
 There are two opinions.
1. Although there is a huge potential for growth online, print remains the largest source of revenue generation for newspaper publishers, and will continue to be so for sometimes. [1](PricewaterhouseCoopers http://www.pwc.com/en_GX/gx/entertainmentmedia/pdf/newspaperoutlook2009.pdf   2009)
2. The Newspaper Died
.105 newspaper have been shuttered.
.10.000 news jobs have been lost
.Print and sales fell 30% in Q1’09

“At least 61 newspapers closed in 2009.”[5] What does this mean? The newspaper died? In my view newspaper has a long-term future and will coexist with other media. Many  people only check the information what they are interesting ,after that , they will miss other news. Newspaper is not only a simple print, it is a platform , it includes all kinds of information .news. advertisement eg. When you read newspaper, you will focus on it over an hour and get everything.
More and more  people use  mobile  and e-book  something else to read the newspaper on line. It growth rapidly. But that growth has not offset the decline in print readership. “Newspapers are easily to earn their reader’s trust and loyalty.”[1] I don’t know somebody else. I trust the newspaper much more than internet. When I read  news from the internet, I will ask myself ,is it true or not? Should I believe it. when I read the newspaper this situation never happened.
Newspaper is not dead. Maybe the content of newspaper will be changed, the type of the newspaper will be changed. But ,I believe , as a very important part of media ,it will continue and exist for long time.
