No More Newspapers?


On page 44 of Growing Up Digital, Tapscott writes about a person who says that they prefer to use the internet over newspapers. I decided to look up on what some people thought about whether we should keep using newspapers at all. It seems like no one even gets their news from the papers anyways. I found this article about someone's thought on newspapers. Daniel Lyons thinks that we should get rid of the newspapers. He says that the people that want to keep the newspapers are holding back the shift to the internet. Some people think that if we take the newspapers away, then part of our democracies will be taken away. They say that people will lose jobs as well, but there has been democracy long before the newspapers and journalists will not lose jobs if they shift to using the internet. Anyways, what do you think we should do with the newspapers?
