Fewer corporations are owning more newspapers. Philadelphia once had four dailies with three different owners. Now they have two dailies and both are Knight-Ridder papers. Media giants are owning radio, television and other newspapers, which is a problem. It's very profitable.
Younger readers seem to buy newspapers based on events.
It doesn't seem to be habitual reading. There's a danger of responding that way. A lot of papers are now on the Internet. They are on as a public relations effort. I can't see where they are going to go with it, but I don't see newspapers and magazines going away.
