Newspaper finds luck of the Irish

Hey, March is Irish-American Heritage Month (proclaimed by Congree is 1955) so it’s time for a report from the Irish Examiner.

The newspaper reports IRISH daily newspaper readership continues to grow — with the Irish Examiner adding 18,000 readers a day over the past year, and 60,000 a day over the past five years.

While the media landscape has never been so competitive, and with many predicting the demise of newspapers because of various new media, almost nine out of 10 people still read a national newspaper, according to the latest Joint National Readership Survey , from January to December 2007.

Three million readers choose to read a newspaper on a daily basis, the survey found.
