Reading
1. Read the text. Choose the correct

Will Newspapers Survive? Newspapers across the world are closing down. There are many
reasons for this, but the biggest reason is the digital revolution. Since the digital revolution, most
people have access to technology, including computers and the Internet. Many readers now read
the news online for free. In addition, many young people prefer digital media. So what will the
future be for newspapers? Of course, newspapers are trying to be part of the future. All major
newspapers will offer digital media very soon. For example, major newspapers such as The New
York Times, El Universal in Mexico and the Times of India already have online papers.
Newspapers are also finding ways to cut costs and make more profit. Rupert Murdoch owns one
of the biggest media companies in the world. In 2009, he said, ''People are reading news for free
on the Web - that has to change.'' Today you have to pay subscriptions for many newspapers
online. Some newspapers, like The New York Times, offer a certain number of articles for free,
while subscribers get additional access to blogs, articles and newspaper archives. Some smaller
newspapers are thinking about going online only, helping them to cut costs. The Ecologist has
already done this, and others will follow. In the near future, paper newspapers will probably only
exist in museums.
