he popularity of the typical news format is decreasing. Newspapers, TV anchors, news reports, etc. I believe the popularity of television, and radio talk shows, however, is on the raise. I think in the fairly near future, next 10 to 15 years, we will see most newspapers switch to some digital format. (Sidenote: I was listening to a sports talk show the other day, and they had a guy from the sun times on. After the reporter's time on the show was up, the show host thanked him and said "You can check out so and so at chicagosuntimes.com" then as an after thought, like it really meant nothing said "or read him in the actual paper.") We will see this basic news come from the online sources, like every one else is saying. I think talk televsion talk shows, however, will be the catylist in the news world. These shows will be the force in shaping the publics opinions on certain topics. The online articles will only create awareness about a certain topic.
The typical news show I think will slowly die. The economic income stations recieve will not be able to sustain the amount of nightly news shows we have. Talk shows, however, will flourish for years to come.

It's kinda funny how news shows are probably going to die out but shows like maury and jerry springer will always be around.
