Well, the Monday New York Times did not bring comfort to the afflicted newspaper industry with a story headlined "Young Adults Are Giving Newspapers Scant Notice" by reporter Juston Jones.
One excerpt from the story, which is based mostly on a report released by the Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard, is especially chilling:
"The results were especially grim for newspapers. Only 16 percent of the young adults surveyed aged 18 to 30 said that they read a newspaper every day and 9 percent of teenagers said that they did. That compared with 35 percent of adults over 30. Furthermore, despite the popular belief that young people are flocking to the Internet, the survey found that teenagers and young adults were twice as likely to get daily news from television than from the Web."
