The newspaper problem is the result of alot of people getting
more up to the minute news on their computer. The TV is almost a thing of the past.

TV is partly to blame; so is the Internet.
And newspapers are to blame; they didn't adapt or innovate quickly enought.
The real culprit is that the culture has changed. People have decided they don't have time to read the newspaper.
We all work more hours and drive further to get to and from work. We eat out instead of sitting around the dinner table. We have plans every night of the week. The tradition of sitting around in the morning drinking coffee and reading the morning newspaper is over. The tradition of sitting around in the evening before dinner with a cocktail and the afternoon newspaper was over even earlier.

TV certainly is part of it, mostly because of immediacy. TV can get a picture up almost instantly; newspapers suffer because of the lag time involved. TV essentially killed off evening newspapers.
Another problem is that newspapers are designed for a mass audience, while most publications are becoming more and more narrow in target audience. It's tough to please everyone, and there are options out there. Computers/Internet have only added to that. Newspapers are starting to adapt to the computer age, but they are big institutions and it always takes time.

Hum...foxnews.com, cnn.com. msnbc.com, abc-nbc-cbs-all.com. I would guess it is the internet causing the decline of print news. That and the fact that both the TV news and internet news don't throw a paper through your window at 5:30 AM and is real time!

Could be.
I didn't notice the decline in the Los Angeles Times 'til more recently, so I'd blaim the internet.

more T.V. stations as opposed to newspapers and reduction in quality reduced but did not entirely drive out newspapers. neither did it entirely kill radio news though it survived as appendage of commercial style news. internet just putting print news on a computer screen similiar process.

I don't agree with that . I think people are getting tired of not being able to trust the news anymore ; print or TV . The mainstream media is liberal biased .
