Comments on: The Death of Newspapers as the Rebirth of Journalism http://hildygottlieb.com/2009/03/02/the-death-of-newspapers-as-the-rebirth-of-journalism/ Thu, 19 Jan 2012 15:17:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Asia http://hildygottlieb.com/2009/03/02/the-death-of-newspapers-as-the-rebirth-of-journalism/comment-page-1/#comment-30708 Asia Tue, 03 Mar 2009 15:29:36 +0000 http://hildygottlieb.com/?p=248#comment-30708 Another reason newspapers are failing is because of the reader's ability to pick and choose their content without purchasing an entire newspaper. The record industry is having a similar problem. Cd sales are down and are growing more obsolete because we have the ability to purchase only the songs that we like. The internet is littered with advertising and sites are often run by corporations. As long as corporations and individuals are reporting news, we will have a bias. How can we use the "news" or media whether it is in our hands or on a screen to develop ourselves and community?

I was having trouble with WordPress when I wrote this post, requiring that I work back and forth between 2 different browsers to get it right (don't ask...). Your comment made me realize that I had mistakenly hit "publish" on the early draft, not the final one - AAGHH!! So thank you - and I agree - as long as information is being provided by a human being, it will not be raw, but always filtered through their eyes. Hildy QuirkyAlone:
