Being the oldest form of mass communication, newspapers have enjoyed great sympathy among their readers for all these years since they have been introduced into this society. Newspapers have always played a pivotal role in spreading people’s awareness, education and information on a larger scale on various topics and issues of public concern. However, after the introduction of advanced technology, digital media has to a greater extent replaced the importance of newspapers as the main source of news and information among these technology-driven people. The newspaper, being the traditional information medium, is certainly losing its charm dramatically among the people in the process of creating awareness and spreading news.

There was a time when newspapers used to play a vital role in bringing people together to communicate and motivate people in the decision-making process so that they can serve the democratic process of the country. However, these days all of these digital information sources present their news in a way that creates sensationalism rather than being informative or educational. They are only intended to provide visibility with degraded content quality rather than to inform the public. Also, media such as the Internet only provide information on major issues, therefore less important issues that may be more important to certain groups or communities tend to be ignored by them. Furthermore, they ignore the news requirements of several local Austin areas where these technologies are also not easily accessible. Thus, newspapers, which is the traditional source of information, better serve their news and information needs.

These newspapers serve as the best option where Austin communities can effectively meet their information needs and can ensure their participation in their democratic process and other important issues that need their opinions.

They satisfy their need for news and information so that they can get to know each other better and also participate in the development of their area.
