Editor and Publisher has a story about the continuing fall of newspaper circulations across the nation. Some tidbits:
+ In just four years the top newspapers in the U.S. have collectively lost about 1.4 million copies in daily circulation.
+ The industry has lost about 10% of circulation overall in the past four years.
+ The Los Angles Times lost 20% of daily circulation, The Boston Globe lost 20%, the San Francisco Chronicle 30%.
+ Though most are dropping, precipitously, some are actually on the rise. USA Today is up 2% and so is the New York Post.
I wonder - will my daughter read a stack of newspapers when she grows up on a lazy Sunday morning with a stack of warm waffles nearby? Or will she just point and click?
