Recently the Detroit Free Press announced that it’s going to cut print editions and focus on its digital offerings. The reaction in the stagnant newspaper industry (which I know well, having spent more than a decade in it) was shock. The reaction among digitally-savvy consumers: It’s about friggin’ time!

In her essay, “The Nature of Short Fiction,” Oates wrote, “…it is the very skeletal nature of the newspaper, I think, that attracts me to it, the need it inspires in me to give flesh to such neatly and thinly-told tales, to resurrect this event which has already become history and will never be understood unless it is re-lived, redramatized.” Some examples of stories that resulted from such collecting are, “Where are you going

Virtual maps of the media attention given to different countries by newspapers such as La Croix, The Sun and The Economist, as well as the blogosphere.Created by Nicolas Kayser-Bril, you can find hi-res versions at L'observatoire des medias.Kayser-Brill notes trends: First, traditional newspapers are highly selective in their coverage of world news. Looking at the three British dailies, editors favour countries that are bigger and more populous, but also closer to home and better developed. They also give more room to the countries of origin of British immigrants, especially if they are white (look at the size of Australia and New-Zealand). Hardly surprising, but still disheartening, especially when you consider that the only brand that does not advocate objectivity, The Economist, covers

Before we continue with the business plan series, I try to keep adding some entries related to simple, everyday activities that one can do to help improve their writing. Reading the newspaper (online newspapers count too!) everyday helps with writing in several ways. One of the most basic ways daily reading of the news can help is by simply creating a more informed writer. By reading the news daily one stays informed about current events and develops a significant body of background knowledge that can be referred to when writing. Additionally, by reading the news daily, one unconsciously learns how to structure paragraphs and to write concisely. While proper academic and professional writing does not necessarily resemble newspaper article composition, the activities are not completely diss
One of my family showed me an interesting story in today's Times.The number of adults who read newspapers has fallen by about five million since 1992, according to a survey conducted for the House of Lords.Readership of most newspapers fell, with only The Times and the Daily Mail showing an increase in the past 15 years. The Times, which had 1.02 million readers in 1992, now has 1.74 million — an increase of 69 per cent. The figures were produced by the National Readership Survey on behalf of a Lords committee investigating media ownership. Overall the proportion of all adults reading a newspaper fell from 59 per cent to 45.1 per cent. In absolute terms, that equates to a loss of five million people, from 26.7 million.The website that I have created as part of Webdesign is tied in to this-people are getting their news from alternate sources such as free newspapers or blogs.One thing should be impartedThe figures did not take into account the readership of the papers' online sites.
