With the invention of the internet, it seems that newspapers and magazines have gotten hit the hardest. Before the internet, newspapers, radios and televisions were the only way to get news, and even then, newspapers would be the best way to get the most thorough review of the news possible. With the internet, anyone can go to yahoo.com and see headlines of the day for free. With the invention of e-books, newspapers have gotten even more sidelined; while their content may be available for subscription on an e-book, the printing press and anyone who was involved in handling the newspaper gets cut out of the distribution, which impacts the economy by cutting jobs. Thus, e-books (and by extension, the Internet) have an effect on the economy far beyond its intended scope.
