Meet Cyrus Davis, who has spent all his working life in journalism. He's been a news reporter, sports reporter, and headline writer. Now, he works for The Evening Star, a local daily paper published in Birmingham, and he is the editor of the paper's online version. "The Star covers current affair, sport, crime, and so on, and there is always at least one item about a cultural subject. But the sad truth is that newspaper sales are falling fast, and newspapers could disappear forever if the industry cannot make money from online sales."
