The recurring topic of my news-editing class is discussing the death of newspapers/print. Talking about it is depressing. On the bright side, my professor said applications for journalism school is on the rise. Now, I wonder if this is because the bad economy is driving more people to apply to grad schools, or if people want to rush in and help save the printed word.
Anyway, don't forget about me and others who are still here willing to buy the paper.

I actually just bought a copy of the NYTimes today! Yay for print. I hope print doesn't die either...
ReplyDeleteI agree. I'm sick of hearing about how print journalism is going to die. Honestly, though, I really don't think it will. We are still young, and there are plenty of people older than us that still rely on newspapers for their news. Don't lose hope! I refuse to.
ReplyDeleteIt definately is depressing - all of this talk of problems and we are shouldered with the task of fixing it, but no one knows how to yet. Our only hope seems to be that the news will not die, it will simply change form and we must be able to change along with it. I'm all about saving trees and the news at the same time :o)
