One-third of U.S. newspapers as of 2005 will be gone by 2024
The decline of local newspapers in the US has accelerated and one-third of newspapers from 2005 could be lost by the end of next year.
Most communities that lose a local newspaper do not get a replacement, even online.
Over the past two years, newspapers have been disappearing at a rate of more than two per week, leaving some counties without any local news outlet. [ more ]
