Will this look into free viewings of newspapers online, subscriptions to read full articles, and even the local news broadcasts? By newspapers being available online, there may be less fuss about the lack of trees in the US- would this be a point you may address? If newspapers continually put articles online, would there even be a need to sell a tangible newspaper? If so, what demographic would have the time to buy and read a newspaper?I like this topic, but am concerned with how it could be researched. Do you find this valuable? |

Your question undoubtedly calls for a lot of research. I'm interested to see how you will boil down all the mentioned categories under the common practice of news coverage. To study the transition, it would be interesting to survey people, perhaps around campus, about their news-reading preferences, as compared to, perhaps, their parents'? It would also be interesting to discover if online access to news has increased an interest in popular issues. It may be a little tricky to learn how people absorb and analyze information; will you be conducting interviews or watching a case study? Some psychological journals on the university library databases may prove helpful to you--I'd recommend looking them up. Good luck with your research. As a former Comm major, I'm definitely interested in your study and potential findings.
