Also can you find any ideas of things newspapers are doing to tackle this problem and boost sales? Try and write down some specific facts and statistics as examples. And try and focus on the U.K. and U.K. examples.
Reasons for Decline
- Internet Access
- Advertising
- Corporate Ownership
- Social Media
The invention of the internet meant losses in revenue in print newspaper. Newspapers can tackle these problems by becoming accessible over the internet.
Gatekeepers ~ People who control our access to traditional outlets.
Prosumers now have the ability to make & distribute media without gatekeepers.
Internet has empowered everyday citizens to post their own news
Citizen journalism is when everyday people can start becoming journalists (producing our own news stories).
New digital technologies have changed the ecology of our society, by giving citizens more power than ever, making it arguably more democratic. Social media has enabled audiences to take part in online activist campaigns such as George Floyd movement and Trump's Tulsa rally, with many issues that were previously controlled by the state, being brought more into the public sphere.
