A study revealed that newspapers are losing ground in schools and education – even their online editions – as teachers prefer to study using international online news sites.
The study was based on a survey of 1262 teachers from grades five through 12, and was released by the Carnegie-Knight Task Force on the Future of Journalism Education.
57% of teachers use online based news somewhat frequently, compared to 31% who use national television news and 28% who use daily newspapers.
“Students do not relate to newspapers at all, any more than they would to vinyl records,” said one of teachers in the study.
