November 2007

According to the Newspaper Association of America, consumption of newsprint declined from 2006 to 2007 approximately 10% in the United States (as measured in metric tons).

During this same period of time cumulative circulation dropped approximately 3%.  It is assumed that the 7% difference between the two figures is a result of web width cut downs and fewer page counts due to advertising losses.
