A couple of years ago Marquette's Communication College sponsored a visit from a media "futurist" who said that newspapers had something valuable going for them that other media missed. It was, she said, the trust of their audience.
I remembered her comment while reading of the latest National Newspaper Association survey that indicated 70 percent of American had read either a printed newspaper or its online version in the past week. That's a pretty high number, but believable because it supports data passed along by individual newspaper companies.
The NNA said the high reader/viewership is "because newspapers still represent the most trusted source of news in America"The survey also supported by observation -- go into any coffee shop and look at the people reading newspapers and scanning online news sites.
