Looking Back

Newspapers today are purchased on average in only 33 out of every 100 American households, as compared with 98 homes in 1970 and 53 households as recently as 2000.

Dont blame the economy for something that has been under way for decades or expect things to get better when the economy recovers.

On April 1 publishers can count a paper costing as little as a penny as a fully paid copy by the Audit Bureau of Circulations. Previously, publishers had to charge at least 25% of the cover price for a paper for it to count as paid.

This change means that the dismal circulation numbers announced are potentially bleaker than they otherwise would appear to be.

How did we get to the point that we're at today?

We stopped listening to our customers.

We thought we knew what they wanted.

How can we fix it...
