If you think newspaper subscriptions are down you should take a look at
magazine stores. Most magazine vendors have a much reduced stock. They
carry fewer magazines and less of those that they do carry. I still
subscribe to the one newspaper because I like to have a paper to read
when I go out for coffee, and I like having a hard copy for the
crossword and other games.

That is the other reason for me to subscribe. It is actually cheaper for
me to get it for the week than to buy 3-4 issues each week.
