Newspapers?

 Who will survive ? 
USA Today or the Dundalk Eagle!
Who do you think will survive? When it comes to topics nationally the USA Today seems to cover it all......news, life, technology, and sports. Which category seems to interest you the most?

The news is covered nationally in the USA Today paper. Every one no matter what city or state can figure out what is happening in the world just by reading this paper. The paper generally speaks to all the citizens not just a specific part or local community or city. Far as the life section it spreads world wide, gossip gets around. Technology plays a big role in this generation. For ex. The iphone 6 just came out if you read the Dundalk Eagle you wouldn't know that it even came out especially if you don't live in the Dundalk area. The USA Today is a more elaborate paper that everyone can find things about in other cities or neighborhoods if they want to know. Sports come into a huge play when it comes to this question. As you can see the USA Today shows athletes around the world, all skilled-type, and ages. Notice how in the photo its two pictures of two athletes from two different schools in the same paper. This is what i meant when i say the USA Today paper is more of a regional paper. People would rather this paper to succeed to see whats going on in the world. This paper shows high school athletes,college athletes and big events such as championship games or play offs.

Going into the Dundalk Eagle there is not a lot of information to be gained. It only covers whats happening or occurring in the Dundalk area or community. That doesn't do other people any good who wants to receive more information regionally. This is a reason why this paper wont succeed because they don't sell as much as USA Today because its limits in their paper far as presenting global. I for myself know what the dundalk eagle provides & show far as sports because i was in it last year for womens basketball. Dundalk Eagle only represents there schools such as dundalk elementary,middle, high school & college where as though USA Today provides county schools,private schools,baltimore city schools & even Charter schools: events,sports,news, & media.     
          Now that you see the pros & cons of these newspapers make your choice. Do you still have the same decision that you've made in the beginning? If not why? Dundalk Eagle is a good news paper BUT far as getting global important information the USA Today paper is more successful of buying and its more likely to succeed
