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Newspapers are a very reliable source that one day may be considered outdated.This may be true but, I still read newspapers and I think The Baltimore Sun is a good paper that has potential to survive.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?

  1. Samara, I agree. People probably will always love to have an actual newspaper in hand to read. It's aesthetically pleasing to many, just to have the actual thing. I also agree that the paper includes a bevy of information for people of all ages and walks of life.

  2. I one hundred percent agree with what you said. I liked how you used many examples to demonstrate why this newspaper is useful. You also used a lot of facts and background on the paper that I had no idea about. After reading this I believe that the Baltimore Sun newspaper will survive.
