Abstract

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The fate of newspapers in North America in light of rapid technological advance has been extensively discussed, analyzed, and researched. This thesis will examine through qualitative research how the Toronto Star's production of a downloadable electronic newspaper changed journalism at this newspaper and the impact these changes had on the people who work in the profession.
