As the ‘phone book’ has become a non essential due to up to date contact information electronically, yes, the ‘daily paper’ has alternative ways to be informed. However, while phone books are stagnant….daily activities in communities are not…nor the desire to peruse current events. In the case of ‘newspapers’ like all media, the centralized acquisition has also done irreparable damage by watering down content and downsizing information per issue. It isn’t just social trends that hurts the circulation, although that’s a big part of it,….CONTENT or the lack of it to save money has played a big part. Look at any newspaper in any town, big or small, from the 40’s thru the 70’s. They were much bigger and everything was included. A much better product.
.
The issue is there is too much competition for the advertising dollar. Newspapers are not the only game in (small) towns anymore. Subscriptions never paid the cost of running the paper…maybe the cost of newsprint. Cost of the news operation was always covered by the advertising, and as that declined, so did the resources to research and edit stories.
