NEW YORK Newspapers are losing the most ad dollars to the Internet compared to other media, according to a new report from Wachovia Equity Research.

Wachovia Senior Analyst John Janedis and his team analyzed 100 leading national advertisers to determine the shift away from traditional media to the Internet.
