You have chosen the correct answer for this question. Newspaper readership is at an all-time low in the United States these days. Many newspapers have stopped publishing and many others have had to cut back on their operations due to loss of readership and of advertising.
The main cause of this decline appears to be the internet. The internet threatens newspapers in two main ways. First, it has typically given people a free way to access news. Some newspapers have had free websites, though this is declining now. Other news sources, such as news networks, continue to have free sites. Therefore, people can get more news today without paying for a newspaper. Second, the internet has taken advertising money from the newspapers. Ads have migrated online and classified ads have moved to sites like Craigslist.
These trends have reduced the profitability and the readership levels of American newspapers.
