As the internet has progressed over the years, paper news companies have had to adapt to the increasingly technology-focused methods of acquiring news. In, 1970, the estimated circulation of U.S. newspapers around the country was 63,147,000, exponentially higher than the 28,554,137 newspaper that circulate the streets in 2018 (data gathered from a study compiled in December 2018 by https://www.journalism.org/fact-sheet/newspapers/). As stated by Don Day, users now prefer to not pay for newspapers that they could simply get online for a fraction of the price, if any cost at all. He claims that "incentivizing them to pay for the product in a content-rich environment helps drive conversions.", meaning that newspaper now have to try harder to make their news worth every penny that comes out of the consumer's wallet. Technology has opened an entirely new door into the work of media consumption, however certain 'old-fashioned' methods of acquiring that information have slowly begun to fade out of relevancy as a result.
