Answer 2

The beginning of television started the decline in newspapers. Afternoon papers re lmost entirely extinct, and the remaining Ams are suffering througjloss of revenue.

Answer 3

Newspaper circulation increased after television started broadcasting news in 1950.

There was a steady increase in circulation even after 1963 when television news went to 30 minutes of national news.

Circulation of English-language papers in the United States has declined 11 percent since 1990.

The share of the U.S. population that reads newspapers has been shrinking for more than two generations, but population growth once masked the trend. Now circulation is decreasing in absolute terms.

Newspaper circulation increased from 1950 to 1990 with the exception of a slight dip in 1975.

This drop in circulation was accelerated by the demise of the evening newspaper across the U.S.

Hope this answer helps you.

Answer 4

I would think that when television started the newspaper circulation didn't change much because many people could not afford to own a television so i don't believe the circulation has been effected.

Internet most likely has changed newspaper circulation because many people can get their news on the internet through the newspapers direct website.
