Newspapers remain a valuable resource<br />
Newspapers have been in circulation for centuries. Ancient Romans produced government<br />
announcements and posted them in prominent locations around the city. In ancient<br />
China, news sheets were circulated among court officials to share government news. However,<br />
it wasn't until use of the printing press became widespread that the new media of<br />
newsprint became available to the general public. The 1<strong>7th</strong> century was the first time<br />
much of Europe and other areas around the world began to produce something similar<br />
to what we now know as newspapers.<br />
Nowadays, many newspapers are still being printed on a daily or weekly basis, but publishers<br />
also understand the benefits of digital content. That is why newspapers are now<br />
supplementing their print copy with digital and interactive versions online. Should a person<br />
desire to read a printed version, he or she can do so. Others can access content online,<br />
which is typically updated regularly as newsworthy items become available.<br />
Newspapers have frequently been the first source people turn to for information on various<br />
subjects, including current events and sports. Even now, despite the prevalence of<br />
television news, people still look to the newspapers for in-depth coverage of hot topics.<br />
Additionally, some newspaper content is mirrored online or offered in some other complementary<br />
form. For example, fans of comics in the newspaper may not realize they're<br />
a major source of syndication revenue. In an effort to snag a bigger chunk of key demographics,<br />
comics not only are being run in the newspaper, but also are being adapted into<br />
"apps" that can be viewed on tablets, computers and smartphones to further their visibility.<br />
The Internet may be creating a dramatic shift in the business model and the products offered<br />
by newspapers, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing, presenting new opportunities<br />
for newspapers to expand on their offerings in unique ways. Many papers now enable<br />
readers to express their comments about news stories online, which fosters a global discussion<br />
that can bring people from various parts of the world together.<br />
Newspapers also are shifting the mix of stories they offer to provide a stronger balance of<br />
entertainment, lifestyle and other subjects that are more relevant to people's daily lives<br />
than politics and international affairs may be. In turn, newspapers are attracting new<br />
readers both offline and online.<br />
Few can argue about the validity of newspapers for current events. Students exploring<br />
current topics and presenting them in school are frequently urged to look to newspapers<br />
for content. Editors are largely apprised of up-and-coming trends and are given first-see<br />
information before the general public, which they later share in their publications. Local<br />
newspapers truly offer the best window into what makes a community unique. When<br />
searching for local jobs, events or merchandise, newspapers and their respective Web sites<br />
remain a reliable resource for their readers.<br />
Despite the ominous forecasts projecting the demise of newspapers, many publications<br />
are still going strong and proving just how valuable a resource they can be.<br />
