As technological advancement continue to unfold, more people, especially the youth depend more on digital media for their news rather than on print media like our community newspapers. Newspapers have gradually been relegated into a less prominent facet of communication. Newspapers are now seen by most young people as a boring means of acquiring news and they rely more on entertaining sources like the internet or television, for obtaining news and information about what is going on around them.
Even with the dependency of youths on digital media sources rising at the expense of the traditional sources i.e. newspapers, newspaper companies can still rekindle the interest of the young people by providing a tightly focused and highly relevant content for them. In other words, if newspapers want to arrest the attention of the youth, they must strive to focus their content not only to serve their adult readers, but also include information that the youth will find both interesting and stimulating. These contents would of course need to go with the current trend in which the youth are inv...

Newspapers have allowed for such a freedom in our everyday lives, and most have not even realized this fact. They have provided us with an outlet to speak our mind about politics, societal issues, public differences, and religion and cultures. Searching online to find such knowledge can be extremely challenging; moreover, newspapers always seem to be a place to find valid information. Newspapers have started to come off the printer more slowly over the past decade. More people are turning to electronic ways to find information rather than going to the direct source where that electronic media got their information. Most reliable information comes from newspapers where high up and educated citizens or leaders speak their mind on certain and important topics. The reason newspapers should stay a part of today’s society is because they offer a way for people to speak freely about what they please and get their voice heard, they are always credible, and they help us hear the problems of the world openly from different perspectives.

A universal refugee experience is fleeing and finding a home because there was terrible things at home so they had to flee to save their lives, not because they wanted to. Ha is an example of the universal refugee experience because there was war in her home country Vietnam. So, Ha and her family fled to the United States so they would be able to potentially start a better life for them. Ha was a Vietnamese girl who loved her papaya tree and her family. She went to school and fought with her brothers. Her father was gone at war, who she hadn’t seen since she was a baby. That of course had changed drastically when she became a refugee along with her family. This has happened to many other people that have become refugees as well, whether it was due to famine or because

In 2010, the future of mass media is upon us today; the Internet. The Internet is and will only grow in the future as the primary means of delivering news, information and entertainment to the vast majority of Americans. Mass media as we know it today will take new shape and form in the next few years with the convergence and migration of three legacy mediums (Television, Radio, Newspaper) into one that is based on the Internet and will replace these mediums forever changing the face of journalism, media and politics.
