More End of Newspapers Stories
NYU's Press Think has an article called, "Laying the Newspaper Gently
Down to Die". Cbc.ca reports that Martine Hamel, who works with the Pulp and Paper
Products Council, says the entire newspaper industry is in a long-term decline.
Hamel told stjohns.cba.ca that, "The last peak in consumption was in 1999, and
since then U.S. newspaper market, which is our largest market ...
has lost two million tonnes. This is not coming back."
THe New York Daily News has an article about tens of thousands of
New YOrk Post newspapers that are never read, but are being
reported as part of the Post's circulation.
And finally, a study by the Constant and The Kelsey Group found that
readers are dumping newspapers for local shopping information and
using the Web instead.
