Because technology has dramatically influenced the ways in which news is gathered and distributed, many—especially young adults—have proclaimed that they get their news online—not from traditional newspapers.

Undoubtedly, online news consumption has mushroomed, with no signs of diminishing. However, according to the recent findings of two researchers, Paul Steinle, a former United Press International president and broadcast journalist, and his wife, reporter Sara Brown, Ph.D., the hard-copy newspaper is far from yesterday’s news.

Cross-country Travel in the Name of Newspaper Research

In June 2010, Steinle and Brown, unable to find a funding source to explore who actually still needs hard-copy newspapers, embarked on what would become a 13-month study that covered some 31,000 miles and took the researchers to 48 states via a 31-foot Cougar fifth-wheel travel trailer and a Chevrolet Silverado 2500 diesel pickup, both of which they purchased for the specific purpose of hitting the road in the name of journalism research.
