1) Why has Google led to the decline of the newspaper industry?
According to the article, the reason why Google has led to the decline of the newspaper industry is because ad companies and companies looking to advertise now look to the internet to do so, this is because there are more people on the net that read newspapers. Also particular newspapers appeal to particular audiences, but the internet appeals to near enough everyone.
2) Do you personally think Google is to blame for newspapers closing and journalists losing their jobs? Why?
Google is to blame, however it not a bad thing in itself. Times have changed, so the newspaper industry need to find something they can do to keep journalist in work, something innovative needs to be brought onto the newspaper scene. Once that happens newspaper companies, may not need money from ads but can maybe get their money form elsewhere.
