International news – stories on natural disasters, elections, war, and pop culture – no longer reach the audience via traditional media, such as newspapers and radio. Global news stories seem to reach a majority of their audience through new media, such as social media, blogs, and other participatory mediums. Will online news such as The Huffington Post and Newsweek be the death of print media? This paper and accompanying presentation studies the way The Huffington Post and Newsweek deliver news and attempts to answer additional questions about the decline of print journalism in the U.S. How is the print industry performing internationally? How do online news outlets make a profit? How are news aggregators affecting the journalism industry? Most importantly, what might the future hold for print and online news platforms? By examining the work of expert media analysts and gathering information from two case studies, this paper will indicate why the Internet will not kill print journalism.
