A report out today from the Audit Bureau of Circulation show something interesting in the circulation of daily newspapers.
Turns out that over the last 6 months ending in March, the top ten circulation newspapers in the U.S. dropped by almost 2% compared to the same period of the previous year. This is nearly equivalent to eliminating the entire Cleveland Plain Dealer’s daily circulation of 344,700.
Seems like the trend away from newsprint delivered information is continuing.
How many newspapers have you read in the last month? For me, it’s zero. Seems like the news in the newspaper is old compared to the on-line fresh “off-the-press” stuff.

I can’t take Starbucks any longer! Mind you I’ve been a long-time customer going back to when it was only a Seattle place. A place where I could go to read a bit, do a little laptop work or make a few phone calls.
But NOT ANYMORE!
They’re so interested in selling music that they’ve installed speakers in every corner of the place (all the SBX’s in my area anyway) and they won’t turn the volume down. You can’t make a phone call and you can absolutely forget about settling into a good magazine or on-line read with their blasted noise coming at you from all corners, even from speakers outside the building!
Its no longer a warm soothing place to linger. Rather a cacophony echo chamber with average coffee.
So I’m changing my velocity heading somewhere else. For good. Unless I’m desperate.

Here’s the results from Lou Dobbs’ poll from last night. As expected by how he framed the question the result shows a large negative response.

Do you think it’s appropriate for a corporate lobbyist to be appointed to a post overseeing our national safety standards?
