And as that example indirectly suggests, there's no point to the NYT Best Seller List without the New York Times, one of the widest-read publications on the planet, and reread every day. There are a lot of newspapers out there being read, in print or online, by somebody. Likewise a lot of news and specialty magazines. People are reading. They're just reading less fiction, leaving that to movies and TV.
