Newspapers have historically been an important source of news, but declining revenues and the rise of digital media have disrupted the newspaper industry. Newspaper circulation and revenues peaked in the 2000s but then fell sharply in the following decade as readers and advertisers migrated online. While newspapers have adapted by creating digital versions, online competitors like Google News have much larger audiences. The future of the newspaper industry remains uncertain as it continues to transition to the digital space.
