Still Read a Paper? Shout Out if You Do!

   


I don't. Not me.

Maybe at the auto repair shop, or traveling at a hotel when internet access is not available the same as when you are home.

  

You are becoming the minority if you are still reading a hard copy paper. The industry has been in a decline for years, but it has even accelerated with the recession.



There are reports out recently that many of the largest newspapers have lost readership. Among the largest newspapers, it does not matter whether it is the weekday or Sunday paper; both have been on a fast track decline.

Wow, how's that for job security? At least in real estate we see cycles. But the newspaper decline is a cycle that will never return.


                          

It is not only the internet that is cause of their problem. It also seems to be the newspaper itself. Publishers are making conscious decisions to focus on more profitable readership. In this case there are limited discounts and even raising prices.

                                                                      

So, where do you get your news about business and real estate? And, whom do you trust for your news?
