What is Happening to the Newspapers of Today?

There used to be a time when the newspapers were something that you looked forward to reading each and every morning. This could be before you were getting ready for work or right as you are eating your bagel and cream cheese breakfast. Something happened to the newspapers of the day and they are not the same things as they were a mere 10 years ago. It used to be that you could pick up a newspaper and read about the world. Now what you see and read is the happening of all the death and mayhem that is going on and has been going on since the dawn of man. The only thing that resembles the older version of the papers is the sports section.

Other than the sports section everything else in today’s newspaper has been altered to fit preconceived in pre-organized media interest. The advertisers have taken over the feel-good stories and have altered the landscape of the printed newspaper to know end. This is not a very lasting impression that the newspapers that are round will have upon the face of this earth as the Internet has made sure that this form of written correspondence, albeit one way to view correspondence has seen better days.

There used to be a time and a place that you could sit with your child and read a newspaper and be sure that the content within those pages of black and white was both substantial and relevant. Nowadays it is hardly advisable to read the newspaper with your children as the stories are simply too drastic. Maybe in the future the newspapers in print form will come back around and have sufficient not a different style of reporting the news. The papers need to return to what was great about newspapers. That was and still is the reporting of all types of news.

When comparing what is so bad about newspapers today all you have to do is read the front page of any major US newspaper publication. The answer does not have to be found in between the lines as most of the front page news is either about a recent murder or a missing child or maybe even men and women dying in wars. The time has come to make a radical change and that radical change has been ushered into the power of the Internet.

Just take a look at tomorrow’s newspaper if you want to see exactly how far the mighty have fallen. When you first open up that day’s news you are a hit in the face with not a feel-good story about humans being kind and compassionate and patient to other humans but stories of doom in the rain and sturm and drang which in German means  storm and pain. As if we need to be reminded that the world we live in is now presently a dangerous proposition for all that step out of their homes the newspapers make certain that we are made very well aware of the circumstances which are surrounding us all.
