certain side. My opinion is that today one can not slander someone without the inevitable consequences after it, which may prove to be even more destructive than the original allegations. Court cases have been opened and won because of baseless indictments, followed by discredit of the offender in the public. By no means can the newspapers be viewed as unnecessary and even dangerous to unbiased outcome of the elections in a democratic country and society. All things considered, though, it seems to me that the fact the newspapers have lost a lot of their committed readership, has not happened due to the loss of interest for the events in politics and in the world generally. As the media is developing rapidly, people are free to make a final, unbiased decision themselves by collecting all the available information from different sources of information. I believe that this has even more to do with younger people, who are more accustomed to searching answers themselves and not to be satisfied with one side of the story. The quality newspapers are and always will be the place for in-depth analysis for those, who need details about why events happen and whats behind them. Only people, who take interest and find time to descend to particulars in the topics that matter, can make their own free decisions. If readers lose the interest on the economy, politics and are only curious about gossip, then the blot referred to in the introduction is not made by the newspapers, but rather the readership themselves, as it creates the demand for such trend to occur in the first place.
