decline of newspapers

Online audiences and digital revenues are growing but – for all their fine words about the importance of quality content – regional publishers continue to show reluctance to invest in writers, reporters, photographers and video journalists.

this shows that the newspaper market it phasing out and that UGC is not being used my big institutions rather then pay news reports to investigate stories this had lead to peopel using social media in order to document events that have happened and therefore provides news at a quicker rate compared to newspapers. UGC has therefore led to a loss in jobs in the newspaper industry and therefore leading to institutions being reluctant to employ people.
