In fact, all these media themselves depend on newspapers to bring them
9、information that they then process and distribute as their own brand of news. Now many newspapers are locked in a struggle for survival. If they lose which is by no means impossible we all lose.The great task for editors and publishers is to respond to the competitive challenge caused by online news
10、, and at the same time use their own online news to increase their profits (利润). As yet, they havent figured out a smooth and sure way to do that. So they cut some more to get profit. The cuts in size that they are making are in some cases risky and in others without considering the results. With ev
11、ery cut, publishers tirelessly argue that readers wont even know the difference. The trouble is that by the time customers do notice that they are getting less for their money, it will be too late too late to notice the reduction in the number of readers.The other big cuts, of course, are in staff (
12、员工 ). The victims would be the oldest and most experienced workers because they are the highest paid. While there is plenty of tired deadwood among them, there is also a lot of talent. When experienced staff leave in large numbers as they often do now the newspaper loses great professional memory. B
13、ut the real loser is the readers, who are suddenly robbed of the insights (见识) that only the experienced reporters can bring.

17、sible that newspapers may not survive in the end三、短文改错Friends play important role in everyones life. Friendship usually developed during childhood. New friends are made because you progress through school. Those friends you make as a student can be last long. Friends have a great influence on your b
18、ehaviors. As the saying goes, “As a man is, so is his company.” Friendship is based in common interests. If you like sports, most of your friends probably like sports.
