Abstract
This essay compares the coverage of the World Series by newspapers and television news and concludes that neither the newspaper nor the television news was better. The author states that personal taste dictates the selection. The author prefers television coverage because, as a novice to baseball, she could enjoy the sights and sounds of the World Series. The presentation of the strengths and weaknesses for both the newspaper and television news coverage are thoughtful.
From the Paper
"Both newspapers and news shows provide the public with information of interest; however, after researching, I can now conclude that the newspaper reporters wrote their sports stories with the interest of the busy working adult in mind. Newspaper articles went straight to the point by stating the game?s final score toward the beginning of the article and supporting details and quotes later on."

Abstract
This paper discusses the book, "A Mathematician Reads the Newspaper" written by John Allen Paulos. The paper examines how Paulos expands his view of number and mathematics to show how much information numbers can convey and how mathematics can illuminate virtually any subject if properly applied. Paulos discusses these issues by dividing his analysis into categories, beginning with politics and the economy and then continuing through business issues, lifestyle news, science and medicine, and finally, a section on stories that may seem very far from mathematics on food, books, sports, and obituaries. The paper explains that the analysis by Paulos is practical in orientation, for he does not speak in generalities, but rather discusses specific stories and illustrates what mathematics can reveal about them.
From the Paper
"While mathematics may be the focus, Paulos also shows how logic is often suspended by readers and how they may accept conventional wisdom and so judge what they read uncritically, when in fact they would be more correct to raise questions and seek deeper answers. One aspect of our misunderstanding comes from the way newspaper writers misuse numbers, but readers also misuse numbers. Paulos cite the anchoring effect under which when given an erroneous number and asked to estimate the correct number, individuals moved in the right direction but not by very much. They would become anchored to the original number and be reluctant to move too far form it (17-18). Paulos finds ways in which seemingly simple facts may not be facts at all, such as the circulation numbers of newspapers, given as if the number indicate a daily truth."

Abstract
This paper is set up as a newspaper from the Civil War era. It spotlights the life of abolitionists, Soujourner Truth, William Lloyd Garrison, Lucretia Mott, and Harriet Jacobs. It also includes articles on the daily life of slaves and the Underground Railroad.
From the paper:
"Sojourner Truth, famous abolitionist and women?s rights advocate, died early in the morning of November 26, 1883 at the age of 86. She had long suffered from painful ulcers that had begun to cover her body in recent years. On November 28, in one of the largest funerals her hometown of Battle Creek, Michigan had ever seen, nearly 1,000 people gathered, forming a procession behind the hearse. Her casket bore the images of a cross, grain, a sickle, and a crown, all of symbolic significance to Truth. The services, at a nearby church, were well attended by fellow activists, many of whom eulogized about their fallen leader?s strength and dedication (Krass p.103)."

Abstract
This paper examines the statistical procedures used - or not used, as the case may be - in a recent newspaper article appearing in the South-Florida Sun-Sentinel. In particular, the paper examines the failure of the article to provide statistics supporting the idea that mass vaccinations really work. The paper concludes that, while the article intended to serve the public, it does so at not quite the level it could.
From the Paper
"Discovering the statistical procedures that made possible the findings put forward by reporter Patty Pensa in her July 1, 2007, article on the efforts of Palm Beach health officials to lobby for more flu shots for children is difficult in some respects. For one thing, Pensa writes that "the success of a FluMist program at elementary schools convinced officials that children could be vaccinated en masse" (para.6). Unfortunately, Pensa does not deign to provide statistics that would corroborate this important conclusion. Additionally, in precisely the next sentence, she writes that "School officials do not track how many kids are sick with flu each year" (Pensa, para.6). Suffice it to say, if no statistics are available when it comes to sickness levels among young children in the Palm Beach area, and if Ms. Pensa does not provide in her story statistics supporting the contention that a mass vaccination at the elementary school level was successful, then the reader is simply has no means of knowing the extent to which mass vaccination campaigns will benefit the inhabitants of Palm Beach. Naturally, while it can be comfortably inferred that mass vaccination really will benefit everyone, it should not be overlooked that busy parents, uncertain as to who will have to pay for the cost of the vaccination, may decide that things like more rest, a better diet, and more exercise at school are all worthy substitutes to vaccinating their children."

Abstract
This paper discusses the basis of convergence in newspapers as overwhelmed by the massive competition that such a large database of free information creates in this marketing strategy. The paper discusses the effectiveness of this marketing tool of advertising and suggests reasons why it may not be as effective as desired.
From the Paper
"Mass Communications: Understanding the Marketing Strategy of Convergence in the Newspaper Industry In this mass communications study the marketing strategy of convergence will be analyzed within the scope of the modern newspaper industry. The growing information sources and efficiency of the Internet has been a marketing strategy for print newspaper companies that wish to find a broader audience base. The success of this approach has been varied in the manner in which newspapers market their articles and news sources. In essence, the extremely broad scope of information that is now available on the Internet is a problematic, yet marketable source for newspapers that wish to attract various readerships to their news articles and stories."

Online Newspaper Readership, 2004.
This paper discusses the practice of newspapers and magazines publishing their full content online for free, which is a theory of business that is not clearly understood.

Abstract
This paper relates that the practice of not charging for reading the newspaper online may be changing, as seen with companies such as AOL, ?El Pais? , which is the most popular newspaper in Spain, and ?The Economist?, which keeps almost half of the magazine to be read only through subscription. The author points out that online newspapers can publish their content internally and send it to all corners of the globe at a low cost. The paper reports that readers of online newspapers were twice as likely to be postgraduates than the general population and 59 percent were college graduates, indicating that they are likely to be an influential group in the social arena, have strong purchasing power, and are likely to be politically involved.
From the Paper
"Earlier the process of gathering of news, reporting and circulations were left as a centralized process in the hands of selected people. They were professional journalists and they worked together in the institutions catering to providing news across different countries. Today because of Internet and the ability of this medium to interact with public, the general user of the net has also developed the capacity of producing news instead of consuming it only as they were doing earlier. An interesting question has now come up regarding the authority, objectivity and the values that were earlier associated with journalism. This is because the functions of reporting, editing, verifying and distribution of news is no longer being left in the hands of the newsroom in the newspapers of the country alone. There are a large number of people outside who can take it up."

One interesting advertising category unique to Las Vegas (and other gambling areas" was "Casinos"."

From the Paper
"Newspapers every day cover the same stories and do so with slightly different perspectives according to the specific views of the writers, the interests of the readers, and the traditions of the given newspaper. Even two papers in the same city may have different attitudes toward certain people, issues, or institutions, differences which can be discerned on close reading. Two stories from two different papers on the same sports team will serve to show how these differences may be manifested, referring to stories on the New York Jets in the New York Daily News and Newsday.
Rob Parker writes about the team in a column on the Sports Page in Newsday, a Long Island-based newspaper that at the time had just ceased publishing a New York edition of the paper because of excessive costs. Newsday is owned by the Los Angeles..."

"The age of the internet has revolutionized the methods of communication and information exchange. A great deal has changed in the last decade with the information technology explosion. With more accessibility and economical port charges internet has made its presence felt in a number of avenues ranging from corporate desks to common households. This has enabled speedy communication procedures such as email, conferencing, instant messaging, web telephony, video conferencing and so on. Information that was hitherto difficult to access and obtain suddenly became available a click away. With increased usage and application of the internet and other virtual private networks (VPN), information was readily and easily available on the desktop. A user had little or practically no need to leave the confines of his home or work place to source material that was otherwise complex to access, store and retrieve."

From the Paper
"When scrutinising advertisements in the two editions of the newspaper it is visible that the products and target markets were different based on the media being used. Despite that fact, advertisements are important to both versions of the newspaper. In terms of user friendliness, both newspaper versions have their problems and advantages, with the paper edition being part of a societal and historical habit, despite being more difficult to navigate compared to the electronic version. The electronic version tends to overcrowd the homepage, leading to confusion at times. Finally, interactivity is the element that best separates the two versions of newspaper that have been compared. The paper version is a classic that has been and will be around for a very long time; however, it cannot compete with the vast interactivity offered by the electronic version. Ultimately, online journalism adds a new and useful dimension to a profession that always has use for new forms of communication and information."

Abstract
This paper explains that the Internet has had a pervasive influence on more conventional media. The author points out that, with the emergence of the Internet as the full-blown force, newspapers have found that they must adapt or be overwhelmed. The author further describes how leading newspapers, such as the "New York Times", have embraced the Internet and have moved forward with ambitious plans to make themselves available on the Internet in modified forms. The paper underscores that one of the remarkable things that newspapers have done with the Internet is to make themselves more widely available than at any time. The author concludes that traditional newspapers will have a valid place in the media as long as they continue to support relentless reporting.
From the Paper
"One way in which the Internet has influenced other forms of media is to put a tremendous emphasis on imagery as opposed to print. While are still primarily print, the Internet is filled with photos, drawings, graphics, and other visual representations, to the point where images are losing much of their power because we see so many more of them than ever before. Given the ease with which images can be manipulated, we face as a culture a serious problem of retaining the ability to know what is real versus what has been packaged for consumption."
