Why are ‘the newspapers’ still referred to in every other medium?
Here is the newspaper ad in question. By chance, April 21 back in 2011 was Good Friday that year, which is an interesting coincidence for those that have finished watching the series. Do you have any memories of Madoka's airing 10 years ago, or do you have any thoughts as a newer watcher from more recent years?
Google was no help... Maybe I used the wrong search term.
Everyone keeps on blaming the internet the circulation rates of printed newspapers...Yet, recently I was reading an article from 1993 and it was discussing how readership of titles like The Times, The Independent and the Telegraph were already in decline in the UK market. So, there appears to be reasons for the decline in newspaper circulation before the internet became mainstream?
This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 82%. (I'm a bot)
> In an article published April 12 in American Political Science Review, researchers found evidence that economics reporting "Strongly and disproportionately" tracks the fortunes of the country's richest households, likely because newspapers focus their coverage disproportionately on aggregate measures of economic performance, using data that, while plentiful, doesn't track the financial fortunes of the vast majority of Americans.
> The phenomena may also have structural implications for the way economic trends are picked up in the news media, according to corresponding author Alan Jacobs, professor at The University of British Columbia.
> The researchers set out to determine whether the tone of economic news reporting tracked with periods of broad economic gains or losses, or whether the tone of the news moved in periods where those gains or losses were concentrated in the hands of the highest income earners.
> They adopted a measure of economic news tone which used a dictionary with 6,016 English words coded for their positive or negative connotations.
> That bias seems to stem from the news media's tendency to cover the business cycle, according to the research, but redirecting some of the media's focus away from aggregate statistics and toward factors impacting distribution may be a challenge, Jacobs said.
> "Right now, the official government-generated indicators that tell us are released on quite a long delay, and so they're not very useful for the typical economic news article," he said.

... keep reading on reddit ➡I am looking for any information about Newspaper circulation figures for the late 19th century, especially 1850-1900.
Particularly Britain, America, Australia, France, The USA but anywhere would be good.
I hope it is ok to post this here - it is a question for historians, albeit not a question necessarily about history.
Note - I am just looking for information about where to look for these, I am not expecting anyone to provide me with a list of figures!
