Hiya,

Newspaper is a thriving and expanding business. When
TV came along, they thought that it was going to be the
do all and end all in advertising, and they were wrong.
Newspapers are a cheap, portable, and easy way to keep
up with the news, and world around us.

Newspapers aren't doomed. Many people in the USA and
worldwide still don't have an Internet connection, and
I still don't see everybody conforming to this medium
or relying on any singular medium for their
communication and lives.

As technology advances, we will always have the basics,
like newspapers, to fall back on.

Sincerely,
Heather
