Read All About It -- or not

| | Comments (0)
Results from the Pew Survey on News Consumption were just released, revealing that while more young people are indeed reading newspapers online, their total readership, print and Web combined, has not grown in two years.

According to Pew:

"This year for the first time in roughly 15 years of asking the question, fewer than half of all Americans report reading a daily newspaper on a regular basis. Only 46% say they read the paper regularly – this number is down from 52% in 2006 and was as high as 71% in 1992. In a similar vein, fewer now report having read a newspaper 'yesterday,' a more reliable measure of newspaper readership. Only 34% say they read a newspaper yesterday, down from 40% in 2006."
