Challenges Affecting USA Today

Improved Essays
I remember my parents waiting faithfully morning after morning on their newspaper to be delivered. They where faithful subscribers to USA Today, I would tease them and tell them that they where USA Today’s most loyal customers.

For example, when breaking news occurs readers do not want to wait until the next day. We want the news quickly so by searching online or mobile notifications helps us to receive it faster.
Online sources have been a primary cause of decline of printed newspaper sales (Johnson, Goidel, & Climek, 2014). Another challenge that has affected USA Today would be the increase

    In Amusing Ourselves to Death, Neil Postman discusses “the news of the day”(7), and his opinion on it. Had it not been for the mediums that we get our information from, we would not pay attention to certain stories. He states that the news of the day is simply “a figment of our technological imagination” (8) and without the platform to display it, “the news of the day does not exist” (8). I agree with Postman's view because in my everyday life I choose to get information from not only the people around me, but from media that reports stories from all over the world. I usually start my mornings with local news on television.…

Nicholas Carr supports the idea that technology is negatively changing the way we think because people cannot concentrate as long and it scatters our attention. However, Clive Thompson persuades readers that technology is doing more good than harm to society if we know when to rely on technology and how its digital tools actually help us retain more information.…
