I think I may apply after the first internship, if I apply at all =]<br />Wah! It'd be so cool if you could run your town's newspaper, but there would be such an intense restructuring of the office. I bet you would have to spend tons of money to run the website, to modernize everything, and it still doesn't guarantee that you'll have enough readers to keep it from going under. <br />On the other hand, you have to consider your audience if you were going online. Do must readers own a computer? Are there a lot of old folks in your town who are not technologically savvy (like your parents LOL)? <br />I think that print is not dead, and won't die for a long time to come. There's still people around who like reading their paper with a nice cup of coffee in the morning (like me! XD). But I think that, with time, papers are going to print less stories, and make thinner copies because a lot of their readers go online instead. I'd love to see a small paper with a concise view of the news (Metro, for example) and then, they can direct you to the online version to read more about a certain story if they were interested.<br />Anyways, this has turn into a really long rant.<br />Peace out!Iron Chefshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14940926053889990197noreply@blogger.com
