How will the print industry survive?

I think that although the print industry is in jeopardy, it will survive. There will always be a need for the industry. People will always want books for example because certain people need to physically hold and read the pages in order to get the entire effect of reading the novel. Although things such as e-books threaten books and newspapers, many people don’t like the new technologies which will keep them going back to the original print sources. Th effect of demassification on the print industry has been huge. Whole newspapers have shut down as well as publishing houses which put the financial stability of the industry in jeopardy as well but yet, they are still around

I also believe in trends going away or becoming less popular but then returning bigger and stronger in the future. Many things that were around in the 80’s and 90’s for example have been making comebacks such as TV shows and movies. Who’s to say that this wont happen with print? I think that the industry will eventually rebound because people will once again demand the product and the industry will have to respond. The print industry may be in danger but I believe it will rebound in some way.
