Changes

Newspapers do have one advantage over news channels that have helped them stay afloat: there is no way to send [[comics]] over the airwaves. Therefore, newspapers make money by publishing comic strips like "For Better Or For Worse", "Mallard Fillmore", and the popular "Mutts". Another reason why newspapers have remained profitable is [[advertising]]. If newspapers had to rely solely on subscriptions and newsstand sales for their income, they would not be profitable.  Newspapers suffer from declining sales, and fewer young people read them.

At one time in American history, it was quite common for cities, even small ones, to have several daily newspapers. The trend in recent years has been toward consolidation and cities no longer being able to support so many newspapers. Even a city like [[Washington, D.C.]] for example now only has two daily newspapers. Another trend in recent years is the [[proliferation]] of free weekly newspapers. These make their money selling advertising and are distributed to readers free of charge.  Many of these free weeklies are socially liberal.
