Mother Jones has compiled some most interesting stats on the changing face of the press as part of a feature on "breaking the news". For instance:

• Since 1972, the percentage of Americans who read a newspaper every day has dropped from 70% to less than 40%.

• Between 1990 and 2004, daily newspaper circulation dropped 11%, from 62 million to 55 million.
