Are newspapers dying? Many say the disappearance of the daily paper is just a matter of time. Now newspaper circulation is dropping, ad income is drying up, and the industry has experienced a great wave of layoffs (裁员) in recent years. A third of the large newsrooms across the United States had layoffs between 2017 and April 2018 alone. So these people say the internet is just a better place to get news. “On the web, newspapers are live, and they can enrich their coverage with audio, video, and the invaluable resources of their vast archives (档案),” said Jeffrey I. Cole, director of USC's s Digital Future Center.“For the first time in 60 years, newspapers are back in the breaking news business, except now their delivery method is electronic and not paper.”
Yes, newspapers are facing tough times, and the internet can offer many things papers can’t. However, newspapers are still here, and many of them remain profitable. Rick Edmonds, a media business analyst for the Poynter Institute, says the widespread newspaper industry layoffs of the last decade should make papers more survivable.“Many newspapers are operating more leanly (精简) now,” Edmonds said. “The business will be smaller, but there should enough profit there to make a sustainable business for years to come.”
Those who claim the future of news is online ignore one important point: Online ad income alone just isn’t enough to support most news companies. Thus, online news sites will need a new business model to survive. One possibility may be paywalls, meaning people have to pay for content. The 2013 Pew Research Center media report found that paywalls had been adopted at 450 of the country's 1,380 dailies.
Until someone figures out how to make online-only news sites profitable, newspapers aren't going anywhere. Despite the occasional scandal(丑闻) at print institutions, they remain trusted sources of information people turn to.
