Save The Economy One Newspaper At A Time

Online newspapers are taking over print circulation and hurting the economy


Since I can remember newspapers were the source of the morning news at my house. Every morning dad would read the newspaper while the kids ate breakfast. We would even save our newspapers for pumpkin carving, starting fires, and wrapping gifts. It's hard to think that each day print circulation is diminishing by the minute. This is playing a huge factor in these hard economic times.


Since newspapers have been becoming electronic many journalist have lost their jobs. With the loss of thousands of jobs, the economy is taking a hit. Newspapers use to have to be bought, and that was the only way you could read them. Now people can just go online, many times for free, and read the news like they use to. Since online newspapers don't cost a penny, journalist are being cut because fundings are low. Even one of the largest circulations the New York Times is cutting employees.


When one of the largest print circulations is cutting employees, it is prevalent that action must be taken. For starters, citizens can start buying print newspapers. This doesn't mean going out everyday and getting a newspaper, but instead maybe once or twice a week. Think of it as helping the economy. Each couple dollars spent will in the end make a difference. So, lets all work together and start saving the economy with one newspaper at a time.
