Online websites have now cemented their position as the nation’s No. 1 source of news, overtaking television and practically burying print publications six feet under as younger Americans embrace digital platforms.
The latest evidence comes from the circulation report on the nation’s top 125 magazines that found a six-month drop of 11.4 percent this year following a 14.2 percent drop in the last six months of 2014.
The biannual Alliance for Audited Media found that “total paid circulation” for 86 of 125 top magazines, or 71 percent, saw circulation drop, according to a new report in Media Life Magazine.
Long live The Ridgewood Blog!
The Villadom Times shut its doors overnight a few months back. They owner couldn’t even find a buyer who was willing to pay one dollar for the paper. The Ridgewood News and the Suburban News seem to be carrying fewer and fewer ads. I can’t remember the last time I saw an advertisement of any substance in the NY Times’ sports section. Classified advertising in The Record is minimal. The company that owns the Star Ledger and the Jersey Journal just had massive layoffs. And the local Gannett papers just plain suck.
Let’s hope north jersey media and their limousine liberal ownership are next to go bankrupt!
