Any City U.S.A., : Much like the Steam Locomotive was gradually replaced by the Diesel     Locomotive, printed newspaper world wide is in being replaced by electronic media. Newspapers are in the midst of a twenty year decline in readership that has no end in sight. Even as the U.S. population has grown, people are abandoning printed media. The reasons are obvious . The speed of information provided by the  electronic  media and the ease of which to get in depth information, relegates printed media to the equivalent of a good book printed, recently.

It is not just limited to young people who are switching over to satellite, cable and the internet  for their primary source of news, but across all ages and demographics. The low cost and ease in which to obtain your news using electronic media is changing how we get our news. People are smart. That is why the change is happening. Advertisers are following them to the internet.

 Printed media such as the old Russian Pravda Newspaper were used as tools to hide many facts and claim reality that wasn't there. Today many newspapers still ignore the majority of people because of special interests.  Electronic media denies them the ability to do this and not be questioned . We will not give free publicity here to these newspapers . The nice people who drive the Steam Locomotive, we wish them well.

Newspaper circulation fell 2.6 percent in the six-month period ending in March 2006, as the industry continued to struggle with competition from other media outlets and the Internet.

The decline in average paid weekday circulation was about the same as the previous time newspapers reported six-month circulation figures for the period ending last September, according to the Newspaper Association of America, a trade group.
