Newspapers in the United States
Newspapers have declined in their influence and penetration into American households over the years. The U.S. does not have a national paper. The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal are sold in most U.S. cities.
With very few exceptions, all the newspapers in the U.S. are privately owned.
Most general-purpose newspapers are either being printed one time a week, usually on Thursday or Friday, or are printed daily. Weekly newspapers tend to have much smaller circulation and are more prevalent in rural communities or small towns.
Probably due to competition from other media, the number of daily newspapers in the U.S. has declined over the past half-century. In particular, the number of evening newspapers has fallen by almost one-half since 1970, while the number of morning editions and Sunday editions has grown.
For comparison, in 1950, there were 1,772 daily papers (and 1,450 - or about 70 percent - of them were evening papers) while in 2000, there were 1,480 daily papers (and 766--or about half--of them were evening papers.)
The primary source of newspaper income is advertising - in the form of "classifieds" or inserted advertising circulars - rather than circulation income.
The largest newspapers (by circulation) in the United States are USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and the Los Angeles Times.
