The Pros and Cons of the domination of digital newspapers and how they are using their platforms to monopolise the market even further.
By Mollie Campbell. It has been said that by 2040, newspapers will have become extinct worldwide, but the way in which things are going at the moment, tells me that they will disappear long before that date. In fact, in the UK and US, newspapers are already being deemed insignificant, and really, how many timesContinue reading “The Pros and Cons of the domination of digital newspapers and how they are using their platforms to monopolise the market even further.”
