Impact on Google

1) Why has Google led to the decline of the newspaper industry?
There has been more than $40 billion of advertising money that has disappeared from the newspaper business
over the last decade. Google has been taking all the money for advertisements. Authors publishing an article in a newspaper had to pay for it whereas on-line its easy and free to submit your work.The new and more modern way of keeping up to date with the news has lead to the decline of the newspaper

2) Find a statistic from the article that illustrates the decline of traditional news media.

3) Looking at the graph featured in the article, what period has seen the steepest decline in newspaper advertising revenue? 

2) Do you personally think Google is to blame for newspapers closing and journalists losing their jobs? Why?
With the technology advancing  as we continue on with our generations it hard to put all the blame on Google for being a company that allows audiences to search so quickly and keep up with current news by providing audience with different results and different sources for free in a few seconds. Therefore i don't agree, because newspapers and journalist i don't think are paying attention to the growing generation and their lifestyle interest To cater and meet to their needs, this could be a way that newspapers closing and journalist losing their jobs.

One comment I agree with:
Sorry, you didn’t convince me. So what if they didn’t invent the Internet. They did figure out a good way to advertise on other people’s content without sharing anything with the people who did the work. They could have built a system that actually paid the content creators. They could have tossed in a microcent every time someone clicked on a search link. But no, they kept ALL of the money for themselves. And they still do it. They seem to think that Google News is a service. It’s just a leech on the hardworking reporters.
I agree with this comment because other than just being completely bias this person has acknowledged that yes Google is smart for coming  up with the method to solve all  the issues of having to go out and waste money on newspapers, but also they are getting away with giving less credit to those who deserve it such as the journalists missing out on their credit-worthy work.


One comment i disagree with: 
obviously, Google is not to blame. I don’t think it’s about blame. I think the Internet is incredibly poorly designed.
Google does have some blame, its a multi-millionaire company getting bigger and better and some people let them get away with anything simply because of the increasing size of the monopoly.
