A whole pile of stories came out this morning regarding the continuing demise of the daily newspaper industry:
1) Local online ad revenue for newspaper sites is growing, but not as fast as it is for pure-play local sites. As a result, newspapers are still losing market share.
2) Gannett cuts 55 positions at 4 New Jersey newspapers
3) Washington Post reporter Stephen Fehr articluates his thoughts after leaving the newspaper following a long career with one of the nation’s last great newspapers
4) Bob Wyman has written a post about how the newspapers lost their classified advertising franchise
Thanks to Gunnar at 1Raindrop for the heads-up on 2 of these.
