Mondo Times editors Boulder, Colorado USA | Posted at 12:38am on Monday, November 2nd, 2009 | U.S. newspaper circulation has dropped to a level not seen since before the Second World War, Alan Mutter wrote on October 26, 2009:
"Following an average drop of 10.6% in the last 12 months, daily newspaper circulation has fallen to a pre-World War II low of an estimated 39.1 million, according to an analysis of industry data released today.
The first double-digit circulation decline in history means only 12.9% of the U.S. population buys a daily newspaper. The analysis is based on data provided by the Audit Bureau of Circulations, an industry-funded group."

Mondo Times editors Boulder, Colorado USA | Posted at 10:24pm on Sunday, September 27th, 2009 | Newspapers will not find salvation in non-profit ownership, Newsosaur argued on March 24, 2009:
"Thanks but no thanks, Sen. Benjamin Cardin. Congress doesn’t need to pass a law to allow newspapers to be owned by non-profit organizations.
The St. Petersburg Times and the Christian Science Monitor already are owned by non-profits and they are struggling as much to make ends meet as most of their commercially operated peers.
The Poynter Institute, which owns the St. Pete paper in a trust established by the late Nelson Poynter, has put its prized Congressional Quarterly up for sale to offset slumping sales at the paper. The Monitor is discontinuing print production to trim an $18.5 million loss that no longer will be tolerated by its owner, the Church of Christ, Scientist."
