Great book that anyone seriously interested in this issue should read.

And oh so sad, too.

1) In James O'Shea's "The Deal From Hell," he notes at one point that reader surveys reveal a preference for crap content -- sports, pop culture, etc. But he suggests these surveys are artificial and need to be overlayered with results from newspapers' most loyal readers, who tend to prefer weightier stuff, including national and international news. That squares with what I'd heard for years, that advertisers would traditionally clamor to place ads in the front sections of major newspapers -- rather than local sections, sports or whatever -- because the front section with national and international news was the only place they got good results.
