A Mixed Bag
First, the bad news: Daily paid circulation for newspapers are in a free-fall.
Now, the good news:
"Newspaper Web sites hit record levels in Q1, according to the NAA, with more than one in three of all Internet users visiting a newspaper Web site over the course of a month".
And I'm one of them. I haven't subscribed to the Arizona Republic in years, but azcentral.com is a must-read for me each day. Jeff Jarvis nailed it: Local news is the future of the newspaper. I get my national news from any one of a dozen sources, but I rely on azcentral.com for the local stories.
