Local Nassau County residents express their opinions on what fashion and style means for them and Long Island. At a recent fashion show held at Hofstra University, local designers gave insight on Long Island's fashion market and where they look forward to taking it. Shoppers, retail workers and the local designers of the fashion show all agree that it is time for Long Island to transition from just fashionable to stylish. (NNL Video by Amber Leon)

"For me personally, my whole view on fashion is to take a potato bag, for instance, and make like a crazy outfit," said Jason Chance, 20, a Valley Stream resident. "That's fashion. Taking something out of the ordinary and turning it into something you can wear day to day."

Steve Finnell, Chris Vaccaro, and Matt Montgomery discuss the popularity of Long Island lacrosse among boys through high school.  Finnell, a local coach; Vaccaro, a local sports author and reporter; and Montgomery, a local player, all note the importance of youth programs. The three agree that Garden City lacrosse is one of the best “dynasty” programs on Long Island. (Video by Victoria Frary)

At age 5 or 6 many boys are not thinking about postseason or playoffs or even a trip to the state championships, but for those who are just beginning to play lacrosse on Long Island, that is probably all they're thinking about. Many dynasty teams, such as one in Garden City, rely on their youth programs to help build their high-school program. Many people believe that teams like Garden City would not be where they are without their youth programs.

Both professionals and average citizens have shown that Americans aren't ready to give up their daily newspapers. Instead of newspapers and older media being destroyed by the internet, existing formats and emerging Internet tools will start melding together, all for the benefit of the reading public, experts say.

What is the future of journalism? How is digital media affecting it? These are the questions experts in radio, TV, print, and web answered. TV reporter Lou Young and Answers.com CEO Bob Rosenschein shared the same point of view on journalism not dying, but on the contrary, expanding rapidly.  (Video by Luz Pena)

From a print journalist's point of view, journalism is slowly dying compared to the expansion of Web journalism. Traditional revenue is declining as more people have stopped buying newspapers, and are now obtaining their news from web newspapers, blogs, and social media.

What is going to happen to the sports page that every person loves to read in the morning with their coffee? That piece of paper is most likely going to be replaced with a computer. The newspaper contains news that is a day old, while the Internet is up-to-the-minute fresh.  This aspect is essential to die-hard sports fans. (Video by Chelsea Cowdin)

There are many factors that would persuade a sports fan to use the Internet to check up on their teams. Anything that has been posted on websites can always be found -- it is never deleted unless it was deliberate, which means a couple words in a search box in Google can bring up stats from a basketball game or pictures of an intense play in hockey from last week. This is technically the same for newspapers, although it will be much harder to go through old newspapers to find an article.
