This article tells about two different opinions on journalism. One side tells about how internet is luring people away from the news, and the other side says readers are still interested in the newspaper. Many people always read the newspaper and all the articles it contained, but slowly little by little the internet has been dragging it away from its newspaper readers. There are many people who grew up reading the newspaper that believe that this is a disaster for the culture. Other were optimistic about the journalism quality. The web is transforming culture and the way instructors teach. Literacy has changed.


Q#1. As a teacher how can I engage students to read the newspaper?
It seems to be a little difficult taking in account that we lived in a society surrounded by media, and students are in top of technology so trying to get them to read a newspaper will be for them sort of “out of date”.

Q#2. What should I tell the students about the demise of journalism?
I would like to tell them that even we are living and media society, we wouldn’t forget about journalism because it is part of our life.
