Today’s Los Angeles Times June 6, 2013 edition is the focal point I chose for this week’s discussion subject matter breakdown. The cover page contained five narrative accounts, two of which were of actual importance as well as of worldwide significance. The initial one stated that the White House had prepared further arrangements, in reference to the formation of campaigns made to put the country of China to shame. Apparently Google accused Chinese hackers of infiltrating the company and it’s clients emails, since then there has been recurrent Cyber attacks, a few of which government related.
Subsequently the other one referenced a local agency taking part in an FBI probe. This particular issue of the Los Angeles Times did contain quite an assortment of some interesting stories; Ranging between Efforts for strong Online community support to PTSD studies and suggestive preventive measures. I would say about 40% of this particular newspaper is dedicated to tangible stories, most of which generally would not qualify as hard news. Evaluating these articles I noticed a fairly large amount of advertisement content, about 30%. There was about a 20% coverage in regards to the entertainment segment and the remaining classifieds and or etc. represented a total of 10%. There is absolutely no hiding from the fact that this is a tough time for print journalism. Technology will forever continue to blossom resulting in a rapid decline in support of significance for the newspaper
