US: Study shows newsroom cutbacks are hurting coverage Part 3
Posted by Alisa Zykova on July 23, 2008 at 10:38 AM
Although the US newspaper industry may be experiencing declining revenues and plummeting circulation, editors remain positive about their papers futures, according to a survey by the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism. The focus shifts to the Web, as papers look for a way to deal with the situation.
Newspaper websites may bring hopefulness to some and despair to others. Nearly half of editors said that they see promise in online news sites, as the Web is seen as the "saviour" of newspaper newsrooms, reported Robb Montgomery in his blog.
However, almost half said that they are questioning the speed, depth and interactivity of the Internet. These advantages may affect accuracy and journalistic standards, Montgomery wrote.
Montgomery also mentioned that newspapers who lay off staff do not do such a good job of reporting that information.
