Two of three people never visit local newspaper website, U.S. study finds

Northwestern University’s Readership Institute has released results of its 2008 Newspaper Readership tracking study. It shows a small decline in readership overall, with young people accounting for the largest decline. The study also indicates American newspapers are failing to attract many potential readers to their websites: 62 per cent of respondents – skewing toward an older demographic – reported never visiting their local paper’s site.
