A comment on my last post, from someone who knows a lot more than I about the state of newspapers worldwide. Professor Lennart Weibull (link in Swedish) is Director of on one of the longest-running research projects on newspapers in the world, Dagspresskollegiet or The Newspaper Research Programme, founded in 1979. Here's what he says: “Of course WAN is somewhat exaggerating in their report. However, it is problematic to chart worldwide trends in the way WAN does: trends are very different in different parts of the world. Newspaper growth is huge in China and some Third World nations (admittedly, these countries have started from a very low level), whereas the newspaper business is in more trouble in the industralised world. And even among industrialised nations there are no clear overall trends. Some examples: in Sweden, the tabloid press and the quality metropolitian dailies are weakening (both in terms of circulation and advertising revenue), local and regional press remains stable, and free dailies are expanding. In the US, most newspapers are actually quite profitable, despite low circulations – i.e. circulation is not a good measure of “overall newspaper health”. We should remember, that when we say “newspaper”, we are referring both to the editorial product/content, and the newspaper business. Journalistic standards might well be slipping even when a newspaper flourishes as a business."
