The document discusses how technology may impact the future of newspapers. It notes that modern newspapers have differentiated content tailored to different readers. While print newspapers are declining, technology helps transform newspapers into a new form of communicating information online. It allows readers more power over content and the ability to produce news themselves through blogs and social networks. Many newspapers are focusing more on online news as society moves to a more paperless era. The CEO of NewsCorp believes technology is a complementary platform for media owners rather than an enemy.
