*newspaper in America used to put their content online for free but felt that it was damaging their circulation - instead they are going to start charging readers to read it on the internet.
*Showing the adaptation of certain newspapers in the changing media industry and the introduction of technology.
*Big American newspapers have fallen into bankruptcy and many printed-journalism jobs have been cut - could be instead introducing 'blogging journalism'?
*International Federation of Journalist - say that journalists all over the world are suffering because of the change in the industry
*they lose money on circulation and advertising as advertisers pull out if the newspaper isn't selling as well as it used to
*the internet is helping - it allows the newspaper to put its content online, therefore the advertisers follow suite and take up room on their webpages instead of in the printed version.
*negative point of internet; the fact that its so widely available, it means that  mainstream news will just be repeated by different newspaper online, with bloggers and other such social networking sites branching out the news, without referring to the origin of who had brought about the news to begin with - therefore killing the point of the newspaper all together.
*starting to get in with technology - many newspapers are thinking of charging readers for certain content, as they would pay for the printed version. Good journalism costs money and someone has to pay for it - which then falls in to the hands of the reader. People are willing to pay for other things in small amount i.e. iTunes, therefore it is seen that they may be willing to pay for downloading newspaper content too.
*some newspapers disagree with the fact that people will be willing to pay for their online content and that it could bring about other problems; they may not make enough profit from the online content - although many newspapers have received many subscriptions and are doing well with it.

Looking at othr bloggers or journalist styles

http://www.elleuk.com/fashion/shopping-blog/fashion-assistants-blog-day-five
-This is a blog written by a fashion assistant at Elle, one of the most well-known fashion magizines of the world. She was attending a fashion week in Londn and took snippets of the venues that she attended and passed positive commetns on the items of clothing she saw of many of the well-known designers. As she is only a fashion assistant, her word on what looked good and what didn't doesn't realy have as much impact, and the blog seems to be one to show that' everyones voice' matters really. However, her style of writing was mature yet informal, not detailiong the events too much but desrcibing the snippets she had taken on her travels and what they had done at the venues and the important people she had met.
