According to this article on the state of the French Press, things are tough all over for journalists and their industry. Some interesting factoids(tm) though.

• The French newspapers are among the most expensive to produce and distribute.
• French newspaper deliverypersons went on strike in October...
• For some reason, the cited study concluded that the US newspaper industry is the most dynamic (albeit with a 1 percent decline in readership each of the last 10 years).

Do your part. Buy a newspaper tomorrow morning, no matter what country you live in.
