2005 worst year for newspapers since recession

A really interesting report from Goldman Sachs cites 2005 as the worst since the last ad recession for newspapers, with major forms of revenue declining and diminishing readership numbers - all due to preferences for online information. "[Technologist Rishad Tobaccowala] added that newspapers are in the worst situation of all news media for growth as 'the least visually engaging and least youth oriented' medium."

Ouch.

    Ouch is right. Does this mean newspapers will transition to the web? I subscribe to the Chicago Tribune sunday edition only for the ads...if it didn't have the ads I would never read it.
