Press the New Button
The newspaper world has been going through painful changes over recent years,
Falling reading figures, of the papers that is, and declining advertising sales has produced a pincer movement meaning many have been fighting a losing battle. With the internet then pouring over the top of the trenches like American troops arriving late into a world war, the newspaper publishers seem to be on their knees.
They have combated bravely with their own internet presence, but the basic rule that you provide “free” services, yes I understand web advertising etc., it has further eaten into falling budgets. More and more papers are now trying to charge for online access - which with the advent of mobile technology they have had to do something.
