Intro

This blog, as a part of a ´Media Literacy Project´ within the course Media & Society, is trying to expose some of the difficulties and troubles that print media are facing at the moment and in the upcoming years. Some predict a radical change, that print media is dying out and only online media will take over, some talk about a coexistence of the old and the new medium, and others claim that the trend is going back towards the old medium, deeply convinced that print is going to persist. Nevertheless evidence speaks for the fact that print is dying out and those who believe that newspapers are going to survive are in denial.

There will always be a demand for information, there is just a thrift from where we get our information from, who produces those information, who checks those information, and how we access our information. The aim of this blog is to evaluate some of the latest trends in media, to assess how this change came about and what consequences it will have for us, the people.
