Opplagstallene for papiraviser er bare trist. Nettavistallene er tilsynelatende hyggeligere for avisbransjen. I hvert fall helt til man ser litt grundigere på tallene.
De ti største papiravisene i USA er (i parentes opplagsendring siste seks måneder):
USA Today 2,113,725 (-7.46%)
The Wall Street Journal 2,082,189 (0.61%)
The New York Times 1,039,031 (-3.55%)
Los Angeles Times 723,181 (-6.55%)
The Washington Post 665,383 (-1.16%)
Daily News (New York) 602,857 (-14.26%)
New York Post 558,140 (-20.55%)
Chicago Tribune 501,202 (-7.47%)
Houston Chronicle 425,138 (-13.96%)
The Arizona Republic 389,701 (-5.72%)
"Newspaper Web sites attracted more than 73.3 million monthly unique visitors on average (43.6 percent of all Internet users) in the first quarter of 2009, a record number that reflects a 10.5 percent increase over the same period a year ago, according to a custom analysis provided by Nielsen Online for the Newspaper Association of America."
"Each of the top three news destination on the Web (MSNBC, CNN and Yahoo!News) individually each drew more than half the unique visitors of the entire newspaper industry in March. Year-over-year, MSNBC grew 9 percent, CNN 4 percent, and Yahoo!News 16 percent.Yahoo!News alone gained 5.2 million uniques in March, or nearly 70 percent of the gain of the entire newspaper industry.

Det mest slående her er vel hvordan Rupert Murdochs Wall Street Journal går motstrøms. WSJ er blitt dobbelt så stor som New York Times. Det er forøvrig en av få aviser som (i likhet med Financial Times og The Economist) tar betalt for en del av innholdet de legger på nettet. Ellers er det også slående hvordan New York tabloidene Daily News og NY Post taper stort, mens WSJ, NYTimes og Washington Post klarer seg ganske mye bedre.
I stedet jubler Newspaper Association of Amerika over den kraftige økningen det er i avislesing på nett:
Det høres unektelig flott ut med 73 millioner unike besøkende og over ti prosent vekst. I hvert fall helt til man minner om hvordan denne listen ser ut når man også inkluderer nyhetsnettsteder som ikke er aviser:

Nieman Journalism Lab ved Harvard University setter dette inn i en større og betydelig mer dyster sammenheng (for avisene):
Newspaper page views at 3.5 billion per month are less than one percent of total U.S. page views (386 billion in February).Time spent on newspaper sites in February, 43 minutes, 9 seconds per month per NAA/Nielsen, compares with total time online of 61 hours, 11 minutes and 56 seconds per U.S. person. This means newspaper sites get the attention of the U.S. online audience just 1.2 percent of the time."
