Study: 83 percent read papers weekly
From NNA: - Reliance upon America’s community newspapers to inform and empower citizens remains strong along Main Street America from coast to coast. In a follow-up to the National Newspaper Association’s landmark 2005 research on readership patterns for community newspapers, NNA found that readership of community newspapers increased slightly (from 81 percent in 2005 to 83 percent in 2007). This is in stark contrast to news reports purporting to chronicle the decline, if not demise, of newspapers.
