Print newspapers in their current form may soon expire, which is not certainly news itself, but Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter William Glauber expounded on this topic during a presentation Sept. 15.
The presentation titled "The Past, Present and Future of Journalism" focused on the decline of print journalism and how the primary factor that newspapers are competiting with is not each other, but people's time.
"William brought up a good point: Americans today won’t walk to the end of the curb to get their news, but would prefer to look online," said Elisabethtown College sophomore Dillon Gaul. "He confirmed my understanding that print media is heading down the tubes because of the Internet."
Glauber said future generations will shape the new form of print journalism, whatever it may be.
“You ultimately will decide the fate of American journalism,” he said, “by your reading habits, buying habits and by your interest or lack of interest in the civic life of your community, your country.”
