Write a research paper related to the decline of the newspaper industry in the U.S. that addresses the following questions.
Why is the newspaper industry considered to be in decline? And, how is this decline contributing to a crisis in the institution of journalism itself?
Why is there a demand for rules for the U.S. government to intervene?
What are examples of proposed government interventions?
How do you think the government should intervene, and why?
Be sure to answer these questions through application of the Spar waves. For example,
What are the relevant technological innovation(s)?
What changes have/are occurring in commercialization?
What elements of creative anarchy have been created?
As an initial research reference to aid you in writing your paper, read John Nichols & Robert W. McChesney, The Death and Life of Great American Newspapers, The Nation (March 18, 2009), which has been posted under Files on Canvas. Consult other sources, as necessary, to answer the above questions.
To the writer: This is a outline, you are going to write a 10 page paper. What I want you to do now is to write a paper outline for me. I will place the 10-page paper later when this outline is getting done.
