The Value of Newspaper


Over the last decade, the newspaper has faded to the backdrop as online articles, Nooks and even Ipads have come to the forefront for news and information.  In fact, a majority of people do not receive the daily paper and very few go out of their way to read it.  Online articles and other forms of digital news may be the way of the future but we are here to put some value back into print.  Newspapers have been around for hundreds of years and their value cannot be understated.  For example, when a newspaper is printed, a writer is bound by their word.  They cannot go back and edit a word or sentence.  They must stand by their work.  Similarly, newspaper reporters and writers are, typically, more accessible to the community.  What do we mean by that?  A local writer can be contacted with ease and their opinion can be challenged by anyone in the community where as an online column can be made anonymous and by someone oblivious to local issues.  Lastly, the newspaper represents the history of the area.  It shows where the people are from, where they are now and where they are headed.  A town’s newspaper has the ability to paint a vivid picture of what life is truly like in a specific community.

Happy reading!
