Publications are taking a new route

Newspapers and magazines have been a big part of the publication industry. Without newspapers, no one would know what was going on in the world around us whether it be locally, nationally, or even globally. Without magazines, it is hard to imagine figuring out what to pass the time with while you're getting your hair done, or waiting at the doctor's office, or trying to pass the time at the dreaded dentist office. So many girls have turned those glossy, sleek pages imaging what it would be like to be that girl on the front cover, wearing those beautiful clothes, having your hair and makeup look absolutely perfect, and have all the greatest tips for making those perfect ringlets in your hair. When I open up the latest issue of Vogue or Elle magazine, I get a sense of hope that maybe someday someone will pick up an issue and see me on the front cover or my articles as the top story. The sad part is that the industry has been phasing out newspapers and print publications. Technology is growing, changing, and evolving daily so that someone can easily get the news or information they need at the click of a button rather than running to the grocer to pick up their paper and pay money for it. Publications are now being phased from paper to online. Every paper now has a website and their are even magazines that are becoming only available online. Bye Bye glossy cover and wonderful smelling pages.
