U.S. newspaper circulation down

You have to wonder just how far newspaper circulation will fall before it reaches bottom.

New figures show that most of the nation's largest newspapers - such as USA Today (-3.7%), The New York Times (-5.5%), The Washington Post (-6.4%), and Chicago Tribune (-5.2%) - continue to lose paid subscribers. The only major newspaper up is The Wall Street Journal (+1.8%).

Newspaper industry officials say that newspaper content reaches many more people today than ever before thanks to the Web and cell phones. The problem, which remains unresolved today, is how to make money in this online world of instant information.
