I don't know about this. While television news and cable made a dent in newspaper readership, I think nothing has hurt them as much as the Internet. It is simply too easy to be informed on your own schedule without getting a newspaper for most people.

I, on the other hand, continue to get a printed newspaper because the coupons that are included in them more than cover the cost. I'm actually saving money by paying for a newspaper.
