As it happens, print news circulation increased by 1.3 percent this past year, however online readership grew by 8 percent, via a study from The World Association of Newspapers. These numbers, in effect, suggest people are simply reading more news sources; ultimately, a fantastic thing!
However, I was discussing the article with my roommate, and he posed the idea that the population also grew larger in 2008, thus adding an unprecedented number of new, news readers to the circuit. This, is a good point...
What do ya think, do these numbers speak sympathetically for the amount of layoffs the industry has seen recently?
