As News Breaks On the Internet Newspapers Are Stuck Repeating the News
How Long Can Copycat Newspapers Last?
Newspapers are now box in. Not only are stories increasing available on the Internet by other media outlets, they have been forced to cut their own ability to do investigative original stories because of cutback caused by falling circulation and revenue lost to the Internet.

The Changing Media = Changing News
The cutbacks in newspaper staffs has also change the experience of reporters hired and what they report. The beat reporter who know his or her sources beyond the public relations consultants and lobbyists have been replaced by young inexperienced people who get their reporting material from the internet. Copycat journalism has always been the norm on local TV has now corrupted the entire media. While much of what appears on morning local TV news has always been taken from the newspapers, it is clear that today's newspaper reporters are using the internet as the main source of the news they report. The epidemic of copycat journalism and cutbacks in the news media caused has resulted in less news being covered by the mainstream media, especially on weekend.

5 When the Press is Weak Government Corruption Grows

The failure is not only because of the move to online, it has a lot to do with the loss of mom pop owners of the newspapers and the fact that in the past copy boys become reporters after they learned journalism with the attitude of their owners that pols and rich were the bad guys. Today newsroom are filled reporter from very expensive Ivy League journalism school and the owners of papers are big businessman who make their money by tapping onto the government's tit, mostly thought real estate. So over the last 3 decades it gone from and adversary relationship with government and pols to a partnership.
