Description

The U.S. newspaper industry is suffering through what could be its worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.

Advertising revenues are plummeting due to the severe economic downturn, while readership habits are changing as consumers turn to the Internet for free news and information.

Some major newspapers chains are burdened by heavy debt loads.

In the past year, seven major newspaper chains have declared bankruptcy, several big city papers have shut down, and many have laid off reporters and editors, imposed pay reductions, cut the size of the physical newspaper, or turned to Web-only publication.

As the problems intensify, there are growing concerns that the rapid decline of the newspaper industry will impact civic and social life.

This book examines the transitional shift of the newspaper industry and journalism, in general, and the impacts this change will have on American democracy.
