It looks like the traditional Newspaper is near death. Nobody seems to care. I grew up reading the newspaper. The Stars & Stripes, the Post Dispatch, the Rocky Mountain News, USA Today, and the LA Times.Nearly every day one of these PRINT MEDIA [ the new word for newspapers] is cutting staff and closing offices. Small town newspapers are nearly gone. Big city papers are close behind.
The people we call the news people, The PRESS, got their name from the Printing of newspaper. Soon they will have to change the name to the BLOG or the WEB. The PRESS will be long gone.
If you are not buying a newspaper, you won't miss a thing. It has been over 400 years since the invention of movable type that newspapers have been printed. Are they doomed? Will the Internet kill the newspaper?

At least there is The Newsies to carry on the history of the newspaper.
