--As more people head to the Internet for information, the business model of communications is changing. --2008 and 2009 saw the closing of newspapers, such as the 145-year old Seattle Post Intelligencer and the Rocky Mountain News. Seattle PI still exists, but as an online-only news source. --A 2009 study by the Pew Research Center found that fewer than half of Americans (33%) say they would personally miss reading the local newspaper a lot if it were no longer available.--Newspapers, TV, and radio are all changing how they do business so that they can remain relevant and viable in the increasing online world. If the media doesn’t shift with the times, people will simply move to a source that is keeping up.
