I remember many, many years ago, 1982 to be exact. The first job in my life ironically was working for the WASHINGTON POST, making $3.50 hourly putting news papers (INSERTER) together. I had no idea that the most informative paper when it comes to political issues, and basically other important news issues would be the WASHINGTON POST. The WASHINGTON POST is one of the most widely circulated daily news papers in the country. Like most dailies, it has an expanded Sunday edition. I believe that the WASHINGTON POST is the most ginuine and trusted papers in print today. Being that politic plays such a dynamic role in our society today and most people trust the political information that the WASHINGTON POST informs about, I think the WASHINGTON POST (PRINTED 1877) will continue its important circulation in Washington D.C. our Political Capitol and also its circulation thoughout mainly every major city in America.

I don't really know about that, in my opinion I think the newspaper industry will come to and end. Especially because of the ease and cheapness of online newspapers.
ReplyDeleteI feel as though the paper version may survive for sometime, but with environmental concerns and declined subscriptions, I really can't see them making a comeback unless something happens to make us less electronically inclined.
ReplyDeleteThe paper is on its way out, man. It's a dinosaur from the baby boomers. Streaming 24/7 media for fractions of a penny is the way to go.
ReplyDeleteLike the stats you used, think your body could use little more detail, but good job.! A nice view even though I think they will either get with the internet or get left behind and could crash and burn in the near future.
