NEW YORK (AP) -- Circulation is still dropping at U.S. newspapers.

Figures released Monday by the Audit Bureau of Circulations show average daily circulation fell 5 percent in the April-September period, compared with the same period a year earlier.

The latest decline was not as steep as the 8.7 percent drop seen in the previous reporting period, which ran from October 2009 through March of this year.

Maybe if they just stuck to reporting news instead of making it up and being partisan&willing participant in all things political and pushing leftist agendas,, just maybe they would survive.. but I doubt it.

I think that if the newspapers actually tried honest reporting and promoting good values in life and advertisements we might all survive.

The media promote crap reporting paid for by crap product ads.

The Tucson (RED) Star is giving their papers away just to keep circulation and ad revenues up.

This is a good marker of consumer sentiment which translates closely into a rejection of the Leftists’ ideology. Other comparable medial outlets such as Fox have increased their audiences, so you cannot blame this all on technology.

FOUR POINT, LOW COST BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT PLAN

• More real, unbiased news

• Fewer heart rending tear jerkers about black single welfare mothers raising kids by multiple annonymous sperm doners

• Fewer heart rending tear jerkers about poor illegals living in a shadow economy because of mean spirited citizens who want laws enforced

• Bring back funny comics and eliminate humorless comics that just push the liberal, PC agenda

Journalism is the dumbest industry on the planet. Why would you piss off half of your customers?

My local Urinal-Sentinel has free giveaway promos at certain grocery stores. I always turn them down, I don’t own any birds.

A 5 point decline is not steep enough. This is disappointing news.

[Secret Agent Man]

More than half.

we just canceled ours and don’t miss it. They Frederick News Post started to turn left and most recently their editor ran a few truther stories and that was the final straw.

So a drop of about 13% on an annualised basis.

The death-spiral continues. The Chicago Sun-Times has shrunk in pages, and has been dumbed down for the lefty denizens of the area who can comprehend English.

The WSJ is up almost 2%. It is not perfect because the news writers can lean left at times but the oped writers are excellent.

I subscribe in large part just to help make a honest liberty supporting paper the number one paper.

I wish they could have a circulation of 10 million.
