Newspaper subscriptions are in a decline...Why? Is it that the info is available online or people don't want to hear bad news?

Tip for best answer: M$0.25
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Mostly because people can get what they want online, whether it's actually news, job listings, etc. Young people esp use online almost exclusively.

There is no evidence that people avoid bad news. Unfortunately a great way to sell more papers (or get people to pay attention to any media) is to splash tales of horror and disaster on the front page.
