I think that this trend is described in the article (toward the end of the Orthodox section in the "Role of the Talmud" portion.)  If you would like to add a source that would be helpful.  In general, this entry has had its ups and downs.  In it's current state it doesn't quite have the reliability, organization and simple readability that this important entry should.  That being said, I think this article suffers from too much content rather than too little.  If you are going to add text about daf yomi and talmud education among the laity that seems fine - but I personally hope that it is kept brief.
