Newsstands used to be everywhere on the streets and alleys, why are there fewer and fewer of them today?

The main reason for the decline in the number of newsstands and their gradual disappearance is that fewer people are buying newspapers and magazines, and people can get news more conveniently through cell phones and computers. Behind this is the popularity of electronic media, and the decline of paper media caused.

The newsstand used to be full of all kinds of magazines and newspapers, and when it was time to commute to and from work and after school the place was bustling with people, including students, office workers and retired grandparents.

They come here to look through and buy their favorite magazines and newspapers, and passers-by often stop to buy something to take away, or a newspaper, or a magazine, for people from abroad, the map sold in each city kiosk is the most assured of them.

When it comes to newsstands, many people have a lot of memories

I bought more magazines than newspapers at the newsstands, such as The Reader, Young People's Digest, Knowing the Voice, Storytellers, and Italian Woods, which were my favorite magazines, and I basically went to the newsstands at the time to buy these magazines.

Then the money to buy magazines and newspapers was saved from pocket money, and every time I bought a favorite magazine or newspaper from the newsstand, I was more than happy. I envied the owner of the newsstand for having so many magazines and newspapers to read. I think a lot of people's literary enlightenment comes from this small newsstand.

For a long time, newsstands were an important part of people's lives, and they were found in the streets and alleys of the city.

But with the development of the times, people spend time with the newsstand, is gradually disappearing.

In 2012, Zhengzhou, Henan Province, became the first provincial capital city without a newsstand. Nowadays, it's hard to see newsstands in the streets of many cities. Even if you can find a few, the kiosks don't sell newspapers or magazines, but cigarettes, beverages, barbecue sausages and other small commodities.

In fact, the decline and disappearance of newsstands is a kind of social development is inevitable. It rose and disappeared because of the times.

With the rapid development of the Internet, more and more people choose to brush the screen (through the computer, cell phone) to see all kinds of news, they have no need for the newsstand this traditional medium of information acquisition. So, leading to go to the newsstand to buy newspapers and magazines less and less people. In such a situation, many newspapers and magazines have been suspended, cease publication, adjustment, many paper media companies are struggling.

The decline and disappearance of newsstands is actually due to the decline of traditional paper media and the arrival of today's digital reading era. Newsstand will disappear, but the culture will not disappear, digital reading era we just change a way of reading.

Those small newsstand, carrying a lot of people's youthful memories. For the newsstand, what is your memory?
