The title for my paper will be "Has New Media Had a Drastic Impact On Newspaper and Magazine Companies Or Has It Helped Them Grow?" In this paper, I would like to research if new media has had a negative or positive impact on old media, such as newspaper and magazine companies. I will research new media devices such as the kindle and other such applications to determine whether they had a negative or positive effect on newspapers and magazine companies. For many years these companies have relied on printing hard copies for their readers, but now through new media all publications are accessible online. As I imagine, new media has had a negative effect on these companies, but at the same time there are many undeniable positive points that come with the ease of new media and the many ways it can be accessed. I would also like research how new media has effected the companies' income, and if switching to online publications has increased their revenue or if the print method was an ultimately more profitable system.
