joel The New York Times today had another article on the worrisome state of metropolitan newspapers, with the gist of the article stating that it is just a matter of time that an American city will have to exist without a newspaper.
Accompanying the article is a map that indicates that that American city will not be Erie. In fact, this graphic is showing that the Erie Times-News has lost circulation between 2005 and 2008, but only at a single-digit rate. That is compared to, for example, the Boston Globe, which has lost over 20% of its circulation. Nearly every daily newspaper over 50,000 copies a day has lost sales the past three years, but there are exceptions. The closest to us would be the Cincinnati Enquirer.
It’s a tough road for friends in print.
