The advent of internet has been changing the way people seeking and accessing data , in the last decade. And things got aggravated in the last few years further with the enabling of access to internet through mobile phones.
Now people are able to search and read through any news, be it global or national or local, in just few clicks through their laptops or mobile phones.
This has been the key reason behind the continuing decline in the sale of printed newspaper sales. The circulation of the top 400 newspapers in US has dropped further by 10% in the April to September 2009 period, versus a year ago number.
The newspaper companies have been forced to raise the prices in order to make up for the lost volumes, and that has also been one of the reasons behind the sharp fall in the circulation numbers. Experts are expecting the circulation numbers in the coming quarters to continue falling, albeit at a lower pace.
