From Editor and Publisher - Where did this notion that print is on the decline come from? The rise of the digital age? Newspapers and magazines' formatting has now expanded to include Web and mobile. However, that doesn't mean these mediums are replacing the original. In fact, a study conducted by Nielsen found that 51 percent of newspaper readership is exclusively in print.

Today's digital age consists of instantaneous news. The latest topics and events are now just fingertips away from the average reader. In response, the content of print has had to change. The hard, breaking news that used to grace the front pages and had readers grappling to get ahold of the daily newspaper is no longer possible.

These stories-the ones that could change entirely by the end of the day-don't belong in publications that now only print a few times a week. Instead, print has softened in terms of the types of stories it contains. It has needed to, in order to keep with the new age. Breaking news has become mainly reserved for online and television, where updates can be made within minutes.
