Newspapers sales have gone down but that doesn’t mean less people are reading the news. As studies show, more people are going online for it; it’s lighter, less cumbersome and doesn’t get the hands dirty with that veggie-ink.

I am willing to bet that newspapers are the only format to lose to the online world.
