Since a lot of magazines like Times Magazine, do you think it is better?
I think it is better that a lot of magazines like Times Magazine are going online. I think it is better because that way it would save a lot of trees. Companies don't need to cut down trees to make paper. This also makes computers more portable because you don't have to carry around giant papers. This way, you can just carry around your phone or tablet. They will also be more easier to manage because the whole story will be right there and you just need to click on links instead of go to a certain part of the newspaper.

Do you think it is bad that only some newspapers like the Omaha World Herald are still being printed on paper?
No, I don't think it is bad that only some newspapers are still being printed on paper. I don't think it is bad because no one really reads the newspapers any more. Most people either watch the news on t.v. or on their phones. It is just wasting paper for them to be printed.
