Click here to view as web page before commenting. | For years, the news industry has been going through a period of transition thanks largely to the internet. Average weekly circulation for U.S. newspapers fell 7 percent in 2015, the biggest drop since 2010, according to the Pew Research Center. Although people still overwhelmingly read newspapers in print rather than online, these changes have caused many small local newspapers to either go out of business, get bought out by large media companies, or explore other alternatives. What do you think lies ahead for smaller local newspapers? They'll become part of larger news corporations and increasingly feature content from their bigger sister papers.
They'll eventually transition into an online-only model but will need the right team in place to get there.
They'll make way for small online-only local news startups.
They'll survive the way they are as long as there's an audience that's hungry for local news.
