Research Paper 2

Final Thesis: (In fact,) the dualism between the pursuit of profit and the quality of publication, specifically how well it adheres to its required roles, defines the modern newspaper industry.

Necessary Steps: Introducing the Topic, Introducing the Roles, Introducing Business in the Newspaper Industry, Introduce Facts Proving that the Newspaper Industry is Concerned With Profit, Introducing Problems with this Concern, Conclude, Resolute

Type of Sources: Newspaper Articles that have to do with the business aspects of the newspaper industry, Textbooks that define the role of the media and give a brief history of the media.

Favorite Source: American Government because it does a wonderful job explaining the roles of the media in a democratic society and gives a good history of the media in America.

Interesting thing I learned: That newspapers are purposely decreasing circulation in order to make a profit.
