The gloom and doom continues: Once again, a study reveals that 18-34-year-olds eschew newsprint for TV and/or the Internet.

The utterly unsurprising stats:

19% of the 18-34-year-olds surveyed read a newspaper daily
17% read the paper once a month or less
12% said they "never" read a paper to get their news
44% visited a Web news portal every day
37% watch local TV news every day
31% consider TV newscasts their most important news source
25% rely on the Internet the most
14% stubbornly still think their morning paper holds up

Guess Rupert Murdoch was right to sound the alarm. Rupert, meet Gina Kolata. You two should have a lot in common!
