TOKYO (UCAN) — Throughout the world, newspapers appear to be on the verge of extinction. Electronic media, beginning with radio and television, but now especially the Internet, have drawn readers away from the printed page as a means of distributing news.
The result has been a loss in subscription and advertising revenue for newspaper companies and, consequently, the possibility of their financial collapse.
Several newspapers have given up print altogether and publish solely on the Internet. It remains to be seen if such a move will stave off extinction for organizations that have relied upon print and are hesitantly and sadly turning toward other media.
