    Arianna Huffington talks about how new technology will play a part in the papers future, but journalism will stay strong since journalists have new ways of gathering more information than in the past

    As it encapsulates one era that has passed, it also has the potential to expand the era we are in. This combining of the best of traditional media with the potential of digital media represents an opportunity to move from the future of newspapers to the future of journalism - in whatever form it's delivered. After all, despite dire news about the state of the newspaper industry, we are in something of a golden age of journalism for news consumers.

  • Many critics of the newspaper industry say its predicament is its own fault for allowing upstarts like Craigslist to outflank it with better methods for advertising automobiles, rental apartments and other merchandise.
  • Since then, the search giant has been cozying up to journalists in a growing variety of ways, financing reports on the impact of the Internet on journalism, sponsoring journalism conferences and donating to press advocacy groups.
  • But Esther Wojcicki, a teacher of high school journalism for several decades in Palo Alto, Calif., and the mother-in-law of Sergey Brin, a co-founder of Google, said the motivations of the tech people supporting the press, many of whom she has spoken to, were more sincere.

  • The major fear in the newspaper industry is that today's young people won't grow into the next generation of readers.

    This video from the history channel demonstrates the importance of Johannes Gutenburg and the invention of moveable type with the printing press. While aimed more towards the printing of books, the printing press was definitely a major keystone for newspapers and news itself to be spread.

  • The U.S. newspaper industry was already facing numerous challenges before the economy took a nosedive, but the latest data from the Newspaper Association of America shows that the current economic climate has only exacerbated the already dire state of the American newspaper industry.
  • Specifically, total newspaper advertising revenue fell 16.6% in 2008.
  • Classifieds advertising, which is under a lot of pressure from online ventures like Craigslist, fell almost 30%, and real estate classifieds fell 38%.

  • UK Newspapers on a News Stand There are a wide number of newspaper types and formats, but three in particular tend to be used above all other in the UK. These are broadsheet, Berliner and tabloid.
  • The Berliner format fits between broadsheets and tabloids. Without any particular association with the quality of news reporting in the format, some broadsheet newspapers in the UK have looked to the Berliner format as a happy medium that allows for the portability of a tabloid format newspaper without the negative connotations.
  • The Tabloid format is the smallest newspaper format and also the one with the reputation for the worst journalism.

    The iPhone and Android have put a virtual newsroom-with writing, photo, video, Web research and communications capabilities-into our pockets. We gasp at the inexorable decline of the business models of once-mighty traditional media corporations, hollowing out newsrooms and throwing thousands of people out of once-secure jobs.

  • Enter the Internet news voucher. Under our proposal, each news article on the web will end by asking readers whether it contributed to their political understanding. If so, they can click the yes-box, and send the message to a National Endowment for Journalism -- which would obtain an annual appropriation from the government. This money would be distributed to news organizations on the basis of a strict mathematical formula: the more clicks, the bigger the check from the Endowment.
  • a news organization must have a group of editors and fact-checkers committed to journalistic integrity.
  • Although the Internet may have destroyed the newspaper's old business model, we can use it to create a new decentralized system that may generate an even more vibrant marketplace of ideas for the twenty-first century.
