There can be little exaggerating the vertiginous decline of US print journalism. Daily newspaper sales (of about 379 titles) down by 10 million to 30.4 million over the last decade; over 15,000 US journalists sacked across the country in 2008; some of the most venerable titles in print media, including The Boston Globe, teetering close to extinction; circulation of others, such as the once invincible New York Times, plummeting – down by 7.3 percent in the six months ending September 30, 2009, according to the U.S. Audit Bureau of Circulations.
