The same realm of institutions that heavily contributed to the spread of revolution-oriented propaganda at the beginning of the United States of America's existence as a nation may soon be flipping to their final pages. According to a 2006 article by The Economist, antiquated physical newspapers are being replaced and out-competed by the ever expanding world of online news and information sharing. Is this necessarily a bad thing, though?
In another example of creative-destruction, an icon of an era is being slowly replaced by a new form of ingenuity better suited to meet the market's needs. The newspapers themselves understand the changing tides of the computer-fixated world. Those companies that have the best chance at survival have reduced operational costs, including the number of employees, and have shifted their initiatives into the sphere of internet contributors and bloggers. For any traditionalists out there enraged at seeing their favorite newspapers disappearing, like the New York Times, welcome to the new age of media: www.nytimes.com/.
