Do you agree with its view that it is ‘a cause for concern, but not for panic’?

Do you agree with its view that it is ‘a cause for concern, but not for panic’?


From the article I have read I believe that I partly disagree with this view of the 'newspapers have been murdered' however I agree that it is a cause of concern rather than a panic. This is because newspapers have not yet started to shut down the large numbers yet that it’s going to make people panic however it would be a cause of concern because people that read the newspapers will be wondering where they get there news from. Therefore it leads to a cause of concern because if it does shut down jobs will start disappearing as in the article it has already stated that 'jobs are already disappearing. This is because if recession hits people will not be buying newspapers therefore lead the organisation in not making money and this will cause people losing their jobs. In this case I do believe it would be panic because people won’t have a job to earn money which will create panic. As panic occurs when a condition occurs; Of all the “old” media, newspapers have the most to lose from the internet. Circulation has been falling in America, Western Europe, Latin America, Australia and New Zealand for decades (elsewhere, sales are rising). But in the past few years the web has hastened the decline. In his book “The Vanishing Newspaper” This saying will be a cause of concern as the people who do get there news from the media will lose their main source of getting there news as most people who do read the newspapers appear to be there daily thing which they read in then morning. Also I believe newspapers are at least doing something inn order to cut costs as they are already spending less on journalism. Many are also trying to attract younger readers by shifting the mix of their stories towards entertainment, lifestyle and subjects. This could be a cause of concern to other readers as most the newspapers will be aiming at younger readers. However in addition i do believe that if newspapers were vanishing it will not be a big cause of concern as there are still many other resources people get there news from such as the e-media such as twitter or the news channels which have online websites and people have access to them for free which shows that there wont be to much concern of the news papers 'vanishing'
