This article is about how local newspapers are on the decline in sales and less and less people are buying them due to the ability to access news from a variety of new and different sources. Also it discusses how users themselves are producing their own content .
- Sales are in freefall – down by an average of 13.5 per cent year-on-year in the first half of 2014. The poor South Wales Argus fell by an eye-watering 33.2 per cent and the Doncaster Star sold barely 1,000 copies a day.
This article is interesting as it shows that people are infact becoming active producers and that maybe in the future local newspapers will not be available as nobody is willing to purchase them due to the digital age.
