Newspaper Public Attitudes - 2006 Annual Report

By the Project for Excellence in Journalism and Rick Edmonds of The Poynter Institute

Yet large numbers of the public still find newspapers to be a fact-based and comprehensive news source. And survey research also suggests they can still be a very attractive medium for advertisers.
