Jerkiewicz, who worked in the newspaper business for 15 years, said the subscriptions have fallen drastically. In 1995 the newspaper has about 24,000 copies in circulation, but in 2010, only has 9,000 copies in circulation. The readers however, had not quit reading the news, but had turned to online sources.

He adds that printing is so cheap now that printers are going out of business because falling subscription levels are leading to

Problem Statement: The advent of internet brought about both challenges and opportunities for the newspaper industry. On one hand, it required redesigning a new product suited for online customers and on the other it was an opportunity to reach to 123 million potential customers in this category.

The New York Times, as well as every other newspaper and magazine around the world, is struggling to find the best way to transition from traditional print to the digital space while still maintaining a profitable business. The current solution for the largest local metropolitan newspaper in the United States is a paywall, which requires readers of online content to pay for a digital subscription in order to have access to the site after a fixed monthly allowance of 20 articles.

After reading an article title “What’s the Future of Sports Illustrated” I think that the future of print media on sport coverage is Internet presents and I believe that will not be the same as it was in the previous decades with the print publication of media. Since technology has increased, it seems everything you can imagine is creating a present on the Internet.
