Newspapers hurting as advertising revenue drops

Big city newspapers continue to stumble financially.

Although advertising revenue increased on newspaper web sites, ad income dropped in the printed version keeps dropping.

Revenue from advertising was in striking decline last month, compared with February a year ago, and were generally weaker than analysts had expected.

What will big city dwellers use to wrap fish if newspapers go the way of the dodo bird? They’ll have to find something else to line the birdcage.

As politically irresponsible as big city newspapers are, I can’t say as I’ll mourn their passing -- if it comes to that.

A link to the New York Times article is here. Some day they may print their own obituary.
