Television Killed the Newspaper Star

Should you, by some chance, need any more evidence that the newspaper industry is in a slump it may well never recover from (and we doubt you do, but we’re going to share anyway) a new study has just been released that says for the first time ever ad sales for television will exceed those of newspapers.

If the prognostication from Veronis Suhler Stevenson is correct, broadcast TV will be the No. 1 advertising medium in the country, knocking newspapers from the spot they have held since the late 18th century, the start of such record-keeping.
