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."

Abstract
This paper looks at how major newspapers can effectively leverage their existing print newspapers to increase significant online traffic volume. Both big and small newspaper publishers around the world have realized the importance of having an online version of their publications. It examines how online newspapers are in a strong position to develop significant user traffic that is not only interested in gathering news and local market information, but it is also interested in shopping. It evaluates how, for newspaper publishers themselves, the multifaceted revenue potential could be great despite the resulting increased cost of producing and distributing a print newspaper.
From the Paper
"The majority of revenues from online newspapers are generated through online classifieds and personals, with slightly less revenue coming from display advertising. The key to a successful online newspaper is attracting visitors. Online publications do so by offering something extra than what is already published in the print newspaper. Many online newspapers offer useful, timely information and highlight the unique aspects of local communities in their Web site content. In addition, the sites must continue to offer breaking news and information, and must be updated regularly to keep readers coming back."

"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.

Abstract
This paper explains that the Supreme Court held that student newspapers could be censored by the principal or other administrators.
The author points out that student newspapers are not censored in California because, in this state, this type of censorship would be a violation of the First Amendment. The paper stresses that student newspapers should not be censored because many of the issues in these newspapers are faced by students on a daily basis. The author argues that reading about these subjects help students to understand better these problems. The paper includes quotations.
From the Paper
"The principal refused to run the two pages because he believed it was wrong for students to talk about sex and similar topics. ... The two articles that were pulled from the school newspaper were about divorce and pregnancy, thus being inappropriate for younger ages. These topics according to the principal were too mature for students in the school. ... Quite frankly, this gives schools the "carte blanche for censorship." While principals and other administrators may believe students are not mature enough to hear or discuss controversial issues, the fact is that students are dealing with these issues on a daily basis..."

Abstract
This paper discusses the current state of college newspapers and the challenges that face their continued existence. The paper begins with a discussion of how university policies support or inhibit student newspapers. Next, the paper studies the specific issue of censorship and its impact on academic freedom. The paper then turns to an evaluation of the quality of college newspapers, focusing on examples of particular high-level journals.
From the Paper
"This is against the principle of education promoting academic freedom which ensures the liberty of students and the staff to make statements even if the statements are viewed as being untrue or one-sided. One does not deny that untrue and defamatory writings have no value in terms of free speech, but the students have to be taught that they have the liberty to have their own opinion, and express them in the student publications in the right manner. This has to be accepted, especially if the student magazines permit anonymous publications. Also, if anonymous publications are permitted, then certainly students cannot be punished for such articles. (Censorship of College Student Newspapers) One can clearly see that the biggest reason for all the legal problems has been the difficulty in adjusting with each other, and one has to realize that both the students and their teachers have to accept adjustments in their thought and behavior when they work together in a college."

Abstract
This essay discusses several themes found in the newspapers of the time of the Second World War on the day of December 15 1941 , showing the usefulness as well as ineffectiveness of these sources for historians. The author examines sources that include authentic documents, personal accounts, diaries, memoirs, and newspapers.
From the Paper
"By researching and studying various aspects of newspapers from times of war, we are able to determine their usefulness to historians as sources. Newspapers contain a wide variety of information on many different subjects, some of which are useful and some of which prove inadequate. Newspapers, especially during times of war, contain large amounts of factual information, such as accounts of battles and gains and losses of military assets. By studying the way in which this information is expressed in newspapers, and by comparing it to other sources, we are able to conclude that this factual information contained in newspapers is usually incorrect, inaccurate or misleading. In this sense, newspapers prove useless to historians as a source. In contrast, newspapers prove to be extremely useful as a source for determining both social and political attitudes of the time."

Censorship of High School Newspapers, 2008.
This paper discusses the issue of censorship as it relates to newspapers and reporting within high schools.

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that censorship in the United States has always been a controversial issue in journalism, television and print media. However, the writer points out, the past two decades have witnessed the growing concern of censorship at the high school level. The writer discusses that journalistic censorship in high school, in many states, has been supported by the Supreme Court, stating that educational institutions are accountable for the information released to the students. The writer maintains that the main issue is the importance of maintaining constitutionality and upholding the right to speak freely about social issues that impact everyone, adults and teenagers alike. The writer concludes that in many cases, allowing high school newspapers to report on issues that impact the young community can increase awareness on the general health of the student body. Further, the writer maintains that while educators feel morally responsible and accountable for the information that students retain, it is their duty to be facilitators of education, rather than editors of information.
From the Paper
"The constitution clearly states, as amended, that minors and adults alike are not to be subject to restriction of the Bill of Rights. Quite simply, censoring one type of journalistic media without monitoring another is a blatant double standard that does ignores the Supreme Courts ruling of the 1969 amendment. While educators argue that high school newspapers are part of the school curriculum and should be monitored and censored, reports indicate that the concepts of journalism taught in the classroom are not related to the real life issues that occur in the community. Controlling a newspaper's content also causes into the question the violation of constitutional liberties, and the notion that a high school newspaper's content is taught as part of a school's curriculum is off-base. Educational institutions are responsible for providing students with the necessary knowledge of fundamentals on a variety of topics. However, the Hazelwood School District vs. Kuhlmeirer clearly shows an attempt to trump the ideas resulting from the application of journalism fundamentals."

WWII and Newspapers, 2002.
A look at the use of media coverage to promote patriotism in America during World War II.

Abstract
This paper discusses the media?s role in convincing American?s of the validity of military intervention in World War II. It looks at how many American papers attempted to stir up patriotism and support for the war by showing the enthusiasm of American troops who already were involved in combat activities. It shows, with examples how in these sorts of testimonials, the media revealed the fervor and patriotism of American troops, hoping that this depiction of the troops mentality would be infectious and convince Americans that the war was a good a thing. It evaluates how such publications convinced many Americans to reconsider radically their isolationist impulses and take a holistic view of American politics that made them see that international politics could have profound effects on national and even local politics.
From the Paper
"America?s entry into World War II was indeed a strange and unusual time in the history of American politics, which had a variety of different impacts and effects throughout the nation. Indeed, America had been going through an exceptionally difficult period before entry into the war due to the terrible economic situations of the Great Depression, which had left a large number of American?s without work and had destroyed the savings of many more. The leanness of the economic times lead to an increasing tendency towards isolationism in America, with the feeling that Europe and Asia should deal with their own problems. Many Americans felt that such matters were not relevant to American concern and did not require American involvement. Nonetheless, America had grown into one of the most important military and economic powers in the free world and its economy was particularly tied to interests in Europe, so, although many individual Americans may have felt isolated from that theater of conflict, certainly our leaders, who had a greater understanding of the manner in which foreign events affected one another, realized that intervention was necessary and very probably in our own best interests."

Tuberculosis and Newspapers, 2007.
An analysis of how tuberculosis is covered in the popular press.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper reviews the manner in which tuberculosis - a notorious and very dangerous microbial malady - is addressed by the popular press. The paper looks at two articles that each emphasize different aspects of the disease. The paper discusses how Erika Niedowski seizes upon the social causes of tuberculosis while Jeffrey Gautreaux focuses on local government policies designed to quarantine and manage local TB sufferers. The paper concludes that Niedowski's article presents a better-rounded, more holistic approach to the disease.
From the Paper
"The first article to be critiqued is one by Erika Niedowski of the Baltimore Sun. Niedowski writes at length about the tuberculosis outbreak presently ravaging Russia and pays especial attention to the crumbling medical infrastructure and to the widespread poverty, unemployment and alcoholism which conspire to facilitate the spread of the microbe. Additionally, Niedowski also points out the inability of many stricken Russians to access health facilities and she likewise acknowledges the troubling dearth of anti-TB drugs in a country that insists it is every bit a modern, western nation (para.1-18). Not to be overlooked, Niedowski's fairly exhaustive review (at least by newspaper standards) of Tuberculosis in Russia notes that many of those who have TB also suffer from other disorders like cardiovascular disease and diabetes and that TB is the leading cause of death for those unfortunate Russians stricken with HIV (para.18)."

From the Paper
"What determines the won or lost category for those cells in our bodies is what we take in our bodies as food; "Their sole source of energy is the food you give them," Carper continues, and the latest and best research available validates the "long-held human wisdom that food does have medicinal powers."
Indeed, since the emergence of human civilizations, people have relied on "forests, fields and gardens" for our medicines, and roughly 75 percent of the people in the world still do rely on the forests, fields and gardens for their sustenance. Carper alludes to the wisdom of James Duke, a botanist and specialist in medicinal plants with the U.S Department of Agriculture, who believes that "if a food has a wide folklore reputation as a remedy for specific diseases," that in itself provides "some proof" of that food's "potential validity" (Carper, 5).
