Answer 1

Several major newspapers have closed or moved to Web-only publication.

Step-by-step explanation:

A 2015 report from a trusted source (the Brookings Institution) shows that the number of newspapers per hundred million population fell from 1,200 in 1945 to 400 in 2014. Over that same period, circulation per capita declined from 35% in the mid-1940s to under 15%. The number of newspaper journalists/reporter has decreased from 43,000 in 1978 to 33,000 in 2015. Other traditional news media have also suffered. Since 1980 the television networks have lost half their audience for evening newscasts; the audience for radio news has shrunk by 40%.
