   From Northwestern's Local News Initiative's 2024 Report:

   "Since 2005, more than 3,200 print newspapers have vanished. Newspapers continue to disappear at a rate of more than two per week; in the past year alone, 130 newspapers have shut their doors. In addition to these closures and mergers, papers are reducing their print coverage, including shifting from dailies to weeklies or ending print publishing altogether."

     "In 20 U.S. states, there are fewer than 1,000 newspaper employees remaining. While declining journalist employment attracts much attention, newsroom jobs account for only a third of newspaper positions. Many of the losses in the remaining positions occur largely unseen as newspapers reduce delivery schedules and consolidate printing operations."
