Abstract
Newspapers have dominated the journalism industry for decades, capturing audiences of all kinds. With the invention of the penny press, newspapers became more accessible and could be found on every household breakfast table. Despite the introduction of competing mediums like radio or cable television, newspapers still remained. That was until the invention of the internet, which disrupted the industry like no other. The internet and social media have forced traditional news organizations to change their business models to meet the demands associated with the popular short-form, sensationalized content found on online platforms.
