Very important annual report on the health of news media. This is about as definitive and thorough as it gets.

In-depth report on the news industry and its race for survival, from the acclaimed Project for Excellence in Journalism. This is a definitive study, months in the making, which is chock-full of detailed information from hundreds of credible sources, and paints one of the most accurate portraits of the news media in a state of crisis.

The executive summary wasn't as helpful as reading the reports for each individual media sector. The trend I saw is that people are consuming more media than in the past, but not necessarily more news.

A small summary of the state of the newspaper industry. While not as dire as people have been predicting, still theres problems coming, and the thinking hats had better be on the right heads.

hearing this project director today on npr, the points i noticed most were: 1) that print brings in the revenue (from ads) but readership is more and more moving to the web where revenue is not great, and 2) that so far, in cities with two major papers, only one has folded. this is a summary of the study.and points out that the 'death of newspapers is not [yet, anyway] imminent.
