David Simon’s overall argument
David Simon argues that the news industry is extremely important, and it shouldn't be allowed to decline. David also emphasises the importance of the role of journalists and states how much of a big role they play in terms of the newspaper industry. David's main point in this article is that he believes people should start paying for online subscriptions in order to make sure industries still benefit by making enough profit in order to remain as an industry and not fall apart. He also strongly believes and puts full blame on online subscription for the newspaper industries slowly falling apart.
Furthermore, the article goes on and David explains the consequences of newspaper industries not gaining their profit needed, and which if it is not gained, this will result in the decline of the newspaper industry.
Finally, David states that if all newspaper industries use this online paid subscription scheme the results will be positive as people won't have the option of using other institutions that are free. Therefore, by all industries using this scheme will result it them gaining their revenue and still being able to remain as a strong institution.
Finally, what is your own opinion? Do you agree that newspapers need to put online content behind a paywall in order for the journalism industry to survive? Would you be willing to pay for news online?
I do agree with David Simon's points, in my opinion I think newspaper industries are far too important for them to completely die out, and I believe if people have to pay for online subscription this won't be the case. However, I think it has come to the point where it may be too late for the journalism industry to survive as it would be needed for ALL industries to follow this scheme. Lastly, I strongly agree with the fact that as audiences we should be paying for newspaper content as we would do so for other media.
