It is unarguable that newspaper circulation has decreased. In fact, since 1990 daily US newspaper circulation has gone down 19%! Now with the recession also facing potential buyers . . . it seems that the newspaper industry is facing further danger. While online journalism can claim many readers from the papers target market, this is generally the younger generations. It is interesting to note how papers that fail to continue in print are transferring into online news, one such example is: The Christian Science Monitor. From examining this site, it is clear that it offers the readers a huge variety of news, with stories from Africa, America, Asia, Europe and the Middle East. It also holds a dedicated section to blogs. The online space allows for this much news to be submitted and so recognition of the possibilities of such space is important.
