Since 1981 newspapers have been dying, a really really really slow death. I was -6 at the time. I can only imagine how uninteresting the internet was for the average user. It took two hours to receive all the text? No comics? D: Very bleak. I feel like newspapers online have come so far and stayed alive so long. If online news content is no longer generated by news organizations because they can't make their shareholders and advertisers happy, oh well. Some how, some way, someone(s) will get the news online. Like, Ghostwriter... but hopefully less creepy.
I just honesty can not take the demise of newspapers seriously now that I know how long this 'news' has been breaking.
