In the following images, the symptoms of the print media decline appears.
We photo imaged the front pages of two local sheets, scrutinizing them. The reason to use these images allows an impression of the substantive relevance of each.
In this one, the Sunday feature deals with a pathos photo of a cute dog.
While in this one from the Star's front page, another animal story about naked chickens makes the top. These papers didn't suffer from a lack of print quality. Rather the story content is much weaker than years ago. There is just as much front page material around. Newspapers are in the midst of a transitional change.We photo imaged the front pages of two local sheets, scrutinizing them.

Starvation holds the reason for change. There isn't a shortage of story material. Rather the numbers of reporters has declined. The emphasis is on ads, not content. Today stories of chickens and dogs make it because they are easy, and not too controversial.

One time I asked for a raise from an owner/publisher of a weekly newspaper and he told me all those stories, photographs and columns I spent endless hours getting perfect weren't strictly necessary to publish his newspaper.
He said the copy and photographs were "just something to wrap around the advertisements" and if necessary, he could simply use some of the hundreds of press releases he received every week to replace me and everyone else who provided content for the paper.
Needless to say, I didn't get a raise.
Now it seems like all the main stream media have 'come out of the closet' and they're all set to prove you can publish a newspaper without any reporters, photographers or columnists.
Luckily, I don't purchase newspapers anymore. All the news is on the Internet, it's faster, quite often fairer and more accurate and less censored too.
Good luck publishers, you cheap sons of bitches!
