1. Well, yes, absolutely. The Internet has made a greatimpact on how news is produced. In the past, it was the newspaper editor who decided what was news andcovered it, but now anyone can. With the camera in our smartphones, we can make a recording of a high-definition video of an event,upload it to the Internet, and then people all over the world can see it. As a result, big media corporations are being cut out. Some sites are bringing the news directly from the people who are experiencing orwitnessing it, on the spot of a car accident for example.
2. Well, obviously the Internet has introduced a lot of new words to our language. Who had heard of “microblogging” before the Internet? But more importantly, I believe the Internet has made media moreinteractive. Media used to be a one-way process—they spoke and welistened. Now it’s much more like a dialogue. Every article has reader’scomments below it and anyone can express what they think.
3. Most countries have seen adrop in newspaper sales in the last few years. It’s not just theloss of readers that is a problem. In the US, newspapers make almost 90％ of their money fromadvertising. This has occurred for several reasons. Firstly, a lot ofcompanies and people now choose to advertise online. Secondly, when newspaper sales drop, fewer people want to advertise in the paper and they won’t pay as much to advertise. In my opinion, newspaper business will find it much harder tosurvive in the future.
