Newspaper Circulation Continues Decline

In this article from The Wall Street Journal we get some hard numbers on the continuing decline of old media, in this case newspaper journalism. I can't help but think that a great deal of this decline is self-inflicted. Yes we are seeing a change due to the advance of technology and the Internet. But the decline of newspapers and the big three TV networks started long before there were any blogs or Fox news. That this article does not mention content is a telling clue. Perhaps Americans would be more willing to pick up a newspaper if they contained a more fair and balanced view of the world instead of the usual liberal hogwash.
