Please save the Newspapers. No young people read the newspaper anymore. we get our information sources online and through T.V if we even care at all. So where do that leave the dusty newspaper where thousands journalist and photojournalist work to bring the community its news. All thought all big newspapers have their paper online and we are constantly inventing creative video and audio sideshows readership levels are on the decline. The big chunk of the newspaper revenue comes for advertising. That money is taken away by the internet, craigslist (classifieds) and lack of interest. So where dose this leave an eager intern at San Jose Mercury Newspaper, smack dead in the thick of it.
As layoff cut newsrooms in half and buyouts sound more like a good option where dose it leave the intern. Its a mess. Just as the dust settles from previous layoffs this year the next round impacts everyone again. As a watchful intern i can only look from a sad outside perspective and wonder where am i going . Will i end up a lonely old photojournalist outside Lowells hardware store looking for photo work from a passerby. Competing with Pulitzer prize winers and other washed up small paper workers bumping elbows. So please help save the Newspapers for the love of journalism or we are all doomed.
