Newspaper Circulation-- will they die out??
After speaking of this in class, I was not aware of the ticking deadline newspapers had to revive their readers and in turn, circulation. In an article titled, "Growth Is Attainable, Sustainable -- Now!", found at-http://www.inma.org/2007-circsummit.cfm, it is explained on how sharp and presis the newspaper world has come to a hault. Each newspaper around the world is explaining some damging losses to their readers, circulation and needs. The planet has become to advanced and into high tech gadgets, to read their news on paper. How much easier is it to blog, chat, google, watch the nightly news or even simply glance at you palm piolet or phone to view the web. The 8th Annual INMA Circulation Summit will take place on March 8-9, and try and review and revise the newspaper world in order to appeal more to the reader. There, in San Diego, they will focus on the processes and systems of the newspaper industry and try and steal some of its readers back to the more traditional and respected way of getting news. Although dying, the newspaper industry seems very important to me, The languauge is for the reader, the news is mostly real and fact, and with that said, the web is always on half right in my mind.

Theis article was called "The risks of electronic communication"
I found it on this webpage- http://www.multicians.org/thvv/emailbad.html
This article is all about how we think electronic communication is so easy and fast, when in reality it can be dangerous and humiliating. By electronic communication the article means emals, IM's, blogging, chat rooms and over the web bulletin boards. This can all be accessable and used by anyone who wants to tamper, watch, or just simply log on. The article warns of what would happen if you post anything sarcastic, angry, emotional, or false. You could even begin to alter your reputation. Basically, what it comes down to, is that anything you ever write, post or blog, can be searched by anyone who wants to read it. This means, that if you attatch your name to something, your job, as example, could read it five years later, and what it says may alter their opinion of you. Maybe you got mad at work, so you entered a chat room, and steamed off some aif that anger. You never know who might mbe watching. As we brought up in class, myspace is a biggie for acting as big brother. When surfing the web and using electronic communication, wtach out what yu say, be careful, because you never know how its saved or interpreted,a s well as who is reading.
