Realities and myths about North Dakota newspapers
As a trade association for the 90 North Dakota daily and weekly
newspapers, we want to address in simple language the truth about
newspapers in North Dakota.
Your local newspaper is here for the long run. Some pundits and so-
called experts are already writing the obituary tbr the newspaper industry. We say:
Not so fast. Newspapers march on not only as news leaders and innovators, but as
stalwart businesses in communities they serve, contributing to the well-being of
Main Street and North Dakota.
Newspapers remain a dominant media source in North Dakota.
Newspapers in this state have an estimated readership of more than 500,000, plus a
growing on-line audience. 9 out of 10 North Dakotans read their local newspaper.
Nationwide, more than 104 million adults read a newspaper every day, except: on
on Su,aday when readership grows to 115 million. That's more people than watch
the Super Bowl (94 million), American Idol (23 million), or the evening news
(65 million).
The biggest reason newspapers are read is because you rely on
your newspaper to know what's happening in your community.
Obituaries, weddings, high school sports, city hall, babies, arrests, yard sales, church
meetings, little league baseball, community events, engagements, town business,
government public notices, even the ads the list goes on and on. Your newspaper
connects you with your community. No other medium provides what newspapers
provide. (Ever see obituaries on TV?)
It's a myth that the Internet and other sources will provide news if
North Dakota newspapers aren't here to do the job.
The reality is that newspapers make a larger investment in newsgathering than any
other medium. In thct, most of the news you get from other media originated with
reporting done by newspapers. Sometimes broadcasters read the news directly fi'om
the newspaper!
This is a time when newspapers are transforming. The industry is
adapting and moving forward. We look forward to the future! We
look forward to providing news, information and advertising that
help connect and build the communities we serve.
