Reading of printed page plummets


In only a decade the percentage of Americans reading a printed newspaper has fallen from 41 percent to 23 percent, according to a Pew Research Center poll. More and more, we are reading our newspapers digitally rather than in print -- Internet, hand-held, etc. 

Book readings in print are down 8 percent and, for magazines, 7 percent since 2006.

While watching the news on television remains at 55 percent, only 34 percent of those younger than 30 watch (49 percent did in 2006).
