more-inThe newspaper industry may be in a spot of trouble given growing competition from the visual/electronic media (The Huddle — “Return to the core values of journalism: Media veterans”, Feb.11). After the advent of social media, most youngsters prefer accessing news and other media content using their mobile phones. On the other hand, newspapers retain their charm and acceptance among those in their middle age and above. One of the foibles of the print industry is in making a mountain out of a molehill. It is unfortunate that there was no mention of paid news.
