Will Newspapers survive?

Newspapers, will they survive?
That is the question!
Newspapers are a very reliable source that one day may be considered outdated.This may be true but, I still read newspapers and I think The Baltimore Sun is a good paper that has potential to survive. The Baltimore Sun may not be economically rich but, they get money from other sources. The owners, Tribune Company print many newspapers for the east coast such as Los Angeles Times and Daily Press out of The Baltimore Sun location. The Baltimore Sun reaches a great demographic of readers. You can find anything from crime, real-estate, jobs, cars, weekly sale ads, comics, world news, entertainment, movies, horoscopes, sports, and so much more. This paper attracts the teen boy/girl that’s in to sports, the unemployed worker looking for work,the mother and father looking for a car for their new teen driver, to the daily reader who enjoys reading.. Baltimore Sun even informs immigrants on issues going on in their home country. I think The Baltimore Sun offers good stories from good writers. The newspaper always have a good picture on the cover. Although many young people way prefer the internet, newspapers are a tradition to older people. The Baltimore Sun has a website as well as the news paper. I think this is good because they report traffic, weather, and breaking news, as well as what in the paper. I believe The Baltimore Sun will survive because it is a daily state wide paper. This paper is sold all over the state and touches on things right in our own communities. I also believe the Baltimore Sun will last because of their great marketing schemes.A customer can wake up in the morning to the paper right outside their door or buy one at the red light on the way to work. The Baltimore Sun also have great promotional deals. Who wouldn’t want a paper for a penny a day? Well that’s my opinion, will newspaper survive?

Magzs!!!

So I am at the market and what do I see? “Elin’s painful choice is written on the cover of the People magazine. With a photo of her and her two kids, Sam, and Charlie. If you don’t know by now who Elin is, something is wrong. She is the wife of golf superstar Tiger Woods. The title also goes on to say they have a new scandal about the Woods couple. The scandal is should Elin stay with Tiger or leave him (People 10). Since when does deciding to stay with your husband and making your marriage work a scandal? I know Tiger is involved in a scandal for cheating but, I don’t like how People magazine uses the word scandal to draw in readers. Even though I am not feeling this mag cover, I bet this cover is going to bring in so many readers because of the words “new scandal”. People magazine is going to make a lot of money just off the cover because everyone wants to know what’s going on with the Woods family. I may disagree with the cover but, I think there choice of words and pictures are clever!



Then I look to my left and what do I see deelishis… She sure has come a long way from becoming one of Flavor Flav’s main dishes to being on the cover of a magazine. I think this is another case of making someone a celebrity that’s really not. Does reality TV even make you a star?
