Which analyzed data from the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, shows that newspaper jobs are not simply shifting to Internet outlets, as many might assume.
Digital news which many wrongly assume to be replacing newspaper jobs, saw its newsroom employment increase by only 6,000 jobs.
How bad has it gotten? In late August, the Post-Gazette of Pittsburgh announced that they would be cutting their print edition to five days per week, making that city the largest in the United States without a daily print newspaper.
A loss of good local newspaper journalism hurts communities that rely on small papers to tell their stories.
The fall of a perceived elitist mainstream newspaper does not mean that some scrappy non-biased paper has miraculously sprung up in its place.
The local newspaper reporter is constantly out in his community, seeking to dig up new information and bring it to those who live there.
The continued struggles in the newspaper industry, the fragmentation of the digital news industry, and an inability of many new digital outlets to gain financial traction have meant that more and more only the largest outlets can survive.
