Journo-gone-to-the-dark-side-of-PR Will Sturgeon (also writer of a highly amusing media blog) has put together a short video highlighting tumbling newspaper circulations. It’s a good way of illustrating the point, although it would have been interesting to see how the figures compared against changes in web traffic (a look on Alexa was less than conclusive).

It poses a question about the future of newspapers. I’m not of the view that it’s all about to be taken over by social media - my hunch is that the situation for newspapers isn’t as bad as it is the techology mags, but I could be wrong about either.

Thanks to Jon Silk and Crawford Warnock for highlighting the vid.
