summary
Print readership falls roughly 10% from 1998–2007 to under 50%, classifieds evaporate, and 65% printing/distribution costs drive publishers online to iPad/Kindle experiments and paywalls that trigger sharp audience loss — one example shows market share dropping from 4.32% to 1.8% in a month and later collapsing over 90%. Freelance pay shows big declines — an industry poll reports freelance rates down 50% — while nonprofit outlets like ProPublica Pulitzer produce investigative work citizen reporters cannot.
