Print death watch, Part 628

More happy news for newspaper hacks across the country. From a brand-spanking new study:

The drop in readership continues with younger adults. Among 18-34-year-olds, 68.8%, or 31 million, are reading the newspaper over the course of a week, compared with 70.5% in spring 2004.

The study found that 16 million adults read a newspaper online. Further statistics on Internet usage will be released in early May.

They really should stop with these studies. It’s really starting to make our newspaper friends feel bad.
