Just wanted to touch on an issue that will effect all of us in the future.
The daily Newspaper as we know it is in danger of becoming extinct.
The population as it grows younger also moves away from the printed news as a source of info.
As a matter I feel that those in High School and younger do not keep up with current events at all unless they are forced to by teachers in their schools.
I take great pride in reading my daily newspapers and also the two most important major papers for my area. I am in the minority here as those under the age of 30 never buy a paper
Statistics released recently reveal that those in high school and younger about 90 percent never even look at a paper never mind buying one.
When asked about current events they either reveal what is being said on MTV or simular sites or what is accepted in their peer groups.
A newspaper affords an opportunity to hear many sides of an issue as there are many different views in the editorials and on the pages of different scribes.
My hope would be for parents and those in the influential community to impart on ther younger genreration a want to explore their world through the daily news that is revealed in the newspapers and not fall into the electronic trap of the future
thanks for letting me vent
Enjoy
John C
