Banks have been affected just as much as the customers visiting them. Over this past year and a half banks across America have been closing rapidly, but now the fast pace is slowing down. New York Times compared these past years and the effect it has had on large and small banks across the country. USA Today reported on the 3 new banks that were shut down this year. This article went into detail of how banks have been affected so dramatically. Los Angeles Times created a "by-the-numbers look" of the past year and its economic growths and failures. At this economic state newspapers are choosing their words wisely. The NY Times decided to warn their East Coast and West Coast and major city readers, while also informing them about large and small banks. USA Today was very fact based. These facts came with numbers, percentages, and dollars to sum up what has happened in the banking world. The LA Times took a similar approach as USA Today. They went as far as having a page long stat sheet of these past years.
