to whom it may concern,
this week i am going to talk about my thoughts on the newspaper and its future. I am personally an everyday reader of the newspaper (when i was in san diego) but now that i am studious, and broke, college student i find it hard to make time in my day to read the newspaper. i try and read it online but i absolutely hate reading lengthy articles online. this brings me to my next topic...whether or not i feel that newspaper (print version) will survive. I personally think that the printed version of newspapers will survive. i understand this may be a little bias because of my extreme dislike for online news, but i feel that there are many others out there that feel the same way. A classmate of ours commented that one of the main reasons the perfer printed news vs online news is how many more articles one will see and be enticed by when looking for the article they want to read vs just searching for the news you want and then closing the search engine. i feel that the printed version of a newspaper brings greater knowledge to people for this reason. the one thing i can say that makes me displeased about the newspaper, the san diego union tribune in particular, is the extremely low literacy level and plethora of grammatical errors. this is one of the main reasons i convined my parents to also subscribe to the new york times. i personally hope that newspapers will survive for the eniterty of my life, but i do get worried with the amount of technological innovation and advancements happening in our world today. so for now, i will cherish my printed newspaper and try and read it as much as possible!

i do not personally read the newspaper (because of laziness and the fact that i am too invested in less important things) but i have to agree with you. Printed news is so much better than news on the internet, for various reasons. im not sure that printed news will survive with all the technological advances that time brings, but i sure hope so.
