The impact of Google

1) Why has Google led to the decline of the newspaper industry? it has overall had a decline in newspapers because of the fact that google now offer live newspapers which can be seen online meaning that paper ones are becoming more obsolete.

2) Find a statistic from the article that illustrates the decline of traditional news media.in 2014, people spent 110 minutes a day online, up from just 60 minutes in 2010. Meanwhile traditional media usage, i.e. TV, newspapers, magazines, radio and cinema declined from 402 to 376 minutes a day. 
While television consumption fell by just 6% between 2010 and 2014, the print industry is suffering most from the new digital competition. Newspaper and magazine consumption dropped by 26% and 19%, respectively, since 2010 and is expected to see further declines in the next few years.

3) Looking at the graph featured in the article, what period has seen the steepest decline in newspaper advertising revenue? This has overall happen and had the most biggest decline in 2014.  

4) Do you personally think Google is to blame for newspapers closing and journalists losing their jobs? Why? not at all because i find that the major institutions are being uploaded to the internet leading them to see a decline; overall means that they cant blame google.  

5) Read the comments below the article. Pick one comment you agree with and one you disagree with and explain your response to the comments in detail.
