H.O.N.2



morse code- Created a way to talk to people without being near them, this made news circulation decrease because it meant that recent affairs could be discussed from a distance without needing to be near each other, however if made the industry somewhat stronger because it made news outlets able to discuss stories from further away making stories less localised and more interesting?

typewriter - Created a way for more people to write articles like the newspapers already being produced and discuss local affairs in different ways, without necessarily needing to buy a newspaper. However this meant it was much easier to produce news and for cheaper, which is more convenient for industries.

Cameras- Cameras were very special when they were introduced because it provided a visual story as well as the written story. Cameras originally, as they were so new and rare, were expensive so people bought newspapers to see the photographs.

Radio- Radio decreased circulation figures because is meant that you could hear the news instead of buying it. Also, newspapers were one use only, one you've read the whole paper, however radio played new stories everyday, meaning that after the original payment, you have a constant source of news.

Computer- The first computer originally took up a whole room, but over time as more people owned them and the technology got smarter,  it made it so anyone with a computer could access the news, therefore making the circulation figures decrease drastically as no-one needed to buy it anymore.

Social Media- This meant that not only could you discuss with people you weren't necessarily close to, you could discuss with people across the world. This was also damaging to the newspaper industry because you could now spread stories on social media platforms (youtube).
