NEW YORK Newspaper online advertising revenue growth is starting to slow, according to the most recent data from the Newspaper Association of America.

In Q1, advertising spending for newspaper Web sites increased roughly 22.5 percent to $750 million compared to the same period last year. In the first quarter of 2006, newspaper online ad revenue advanced 35 percent to $613 million.
