New book says Web not to blame for newspapers' slide PaidContent.org Share    
A new book commissioned by Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism examined newspaper industries in several countries and found that in countries where online activity is high newspapers are still faring well, with titles typically generating 50 percent of revenues from advertising.
