Though a little off point, your posting also made me think of television news. Is Face the Nation or World News Tonight free? I don't pay for the content, but what about the cost of my time to watch those commercials, let alone the television set and power bill and that ever rising cable bill? Makes me long for the days when all you needed was a pair of rabbit ears to get network news.

US is 6%, the world average is 8% and Europe is 32 percent. And not the 50 percent mentioned. WAN (World Association of Newspapers) provides the actual information. figures of 2006 were released in june 2006. In spite of the wrong figures, free sheets grow and tackle a distribution problem.

A good thing, at least I feel that way, is that online the newspaper content is available very conveniently through multiple devices. Any time you want to access news online, you can get it from hundreds of resources. Reading newspaper means just opening a new browser window and going to the website. Personally, the biggest benefit of the declining newspaper circulation is environmental. So many trees are cut for newspapers all over the world. The more we access newspapers and magazines online, the less trees will be cut, at least for this purpose.
