Week 12!

Newspapers in the Digital Age
Newspapers will always be relevant, no matter if its online or in print. In the video clip, a journalism student was saying that there will always be a form of newspaper. So with that in mind, why do we need print? It not only wastes paper but if more people prefer to have news online then whats the point? Also, you need to pay to have the newspaper come to your house. If its online then you can get the news for free. Of course there will always be those people who love getting the actual newspaper but soon it will be gone for good.

Future of Magazines
Technology is now taking over entire companies. Apple is so powerful now that major magazine companies are falling under Apple's spell just to remain in business. This has both positives and negatives. A positive is that once someones favorite magazine joins Apple and they have an iPhone or iPad, they can virtually read their favorite magazine for free or for cheaper then it costs to have it sent to your house. The down fall is for people who do not have the technology. Also, if magazine companies want to stay independent, eventually, they will either fail or fall to Apple is a desperate need to stay in business. It's amazing and sad how controlling Apple has become.

Osama bin Laden!
I feel that Obama should release at least photo of bin Laden's death. It doesn't need to be the picture of him with his face blown off, even just the one proving that he is the one being thrown into the ocean. Personally, I can think of tons people who are curious about these pictures, I being one of them. If someone doesn't want to see these pictures, then don't look at them...simple as that. The fact that no one, except the people who were actually there, knows that he's really dead kinda freaks me out. I am one of those people who cant believe something 100% unless I see proof. Where is the proof?
