"A good newspaper, I suppose, is a nation talking to itself," mused Arthur Miller in 1961.A decade later, two reporters from the Washington Post wrote a series of articles that brought down President Nixon and the status of print journalism soared. At their best, newspapers hold governments and companies to account.They usually set the news agenda for the rest of the media.41.__________
Of all the "old" media, newspapers have the most to lose from the Internet.Circulation has been falling in America, Western Europe, Latin America, Australia and New Zealand for decades (elsewhere, sales are rising ).42.__________
That sort of inference would have produced a sniff from a Beaverbrook or a Hearst, but even the most cynical news baron could not dismiss the way that ever more young people are getting their news online.Britons aged between 15 and 24 say they spend almost 30% less time reading national newspapers once they start using the web.
Advertising is following readers out of the door.The rush is almost improper, largely because the Internet is a seductive medium that seemingly matches buyers with sellers and proves to advertisers that their money is well spent.Classi fiedads, in particular, are quickly shifting online.43.__________
Newspapers have not yet started to shut down in large numbers, but it is only a matter of time.Over the next few decades half the rich world's general papers may fold.Jobs are already disappearing.44._________ In 2005 a group of shareholders in Knight Ridder, the owner of several big American dailies, got the firm to sell its papers and thus end a 114-year history.This year Morgan Stanley, an investment bank, attacked the New York Times Company, the most august journalistic institution of all, because its share price had fallen by nearly half in four years.
Having ignored reality for years, newspapers are at last doing something.In order to cut costs, they are already spending less on journalism.45.___________
They are trying to create new businesses on- and offline.And they are investing in free daily papers, which do not use up any of their limited editorial resources on uncovering political corruption or corporate fraud.So far, this fit of activity looks unlikely to save many of them.Even if it does, it bodes ill for the public role of the Fourth Estate.
A．According to the Newspaper Association of America,the number of people employed in the industry fell by 18% between 1990 and 2004.Tumbling shares of listed newspaper firms have prompted fury from investors.
B．But in the rich world newspapers are now an endangered species.The business of selling words to readers and selling readers to advertisers,which has sustained their role in society, is falling apart.
C．But in the past few years the web has hastened the decline.In his book The Vanishing Newspaper, Philip Meyer calculates that the first quarter of 2043 will be the moment when newsprint dies in America as the last exhausted reader tosses aside the last crumpled edition.
D．Many are also trying to attract younger readers by shifting the mix of their stories toward entertainment, lifestyle and subjects that may seem more relevant to people's daily lives than international affairs and politics are.
E．Rupert Murdoch, the Beaver brook of our age, once described them as the industry's rivers of gold--but, as he said last year, "Sometimes rivers dry up." In Switzerland and the Netherlands newspapers have lost half their classified advertising to the Internet.
F．Nobody should relish the demise of once-great titles.But the decline of newspapers will not be as harmful to society as some fear.
G．The classified-ad market was occupied by free listings websites such as Craigslist.A deep recession, received wisdom had it, would surely finish off newspapers, which have high fixed costs in the form of journalists and printing presses.
