Mainstream Media Meltdown

On Chris Anderson's Long Tail blog, some stats on the Mainstream Media Meltdown:
* Music: sales last year were down 21% from their peak in 1999
* Television: network TV's audience share has fallen by a third since 1985
* Radio: listenership is at a 27-year low
* Newspapers: circulation peaked in 1987, and the decline is accelerating
* Magazines: total circulation peaked in 2000 and is now back to 1994 levels (but a few premier titles are bucking the trend!)
* Books: sales growth is lagging the economy as whole
He follows up with the fact that movies, videogames, and the Web are all growing.
