The State of the News Media 2006-
http://www.stateofthenewsmedia.com/2006/

"The new paradox of journalism is more outlets covering fewer stories. "

"The species of newspaper that may be most threatened is the big-city metro paper that came to dominate in the latter part of the 20th century."

"The central economic question in journalism continues to be how long it will take online journalism to become a major economic engine, and if it will ever be as big as print or television."
