Newspaper circulation falling (and won't get up)

Maybe we can save the rain forest after all. The Wall Street Journal reports that circulation numbers are decliningly throughout the nation. Gannett's down 2.5%, Knight Ridder fell 2.9% and Tribune Co., the publisher behind The Chicago Tribune and The L.A. Times cites a 4% decline. But thanks to online readership, WSJ is up a bit.

"The growing worry in the industry is the numbers reflect not just a slump, or a simple extension of a long-term decline in readers, but a more tectonic shift in habits. More Americans clearly are getting their news online."
