Reflections of a Newsosaur shares some bad news for the newspaper biz.
An ongoing decline in Sunday readership, if unabated, could have a disproportionately greater impact on the already weakened economics of newspapers than a corresponding reduction in daily sales. That’s because Sunday sales historically have generated half of the advertising revenues at most newspapers.
I often ask myself what the world is coming to, but rarely do I find suitable answers to my rhetorical questions.
The Sunday paper I receive in my driveway recently shrunk the size of their pages to save money, and I don’t like the change much. I hold it and I know it’s a diminished product, and that’s not the tactile sensation I’m looking for at 10:00 am on Sunday.
