Strength in numbers


I found something interesting on page 17 in yesterday's Irish Independent (May 8). World Association of Newspapers bought a full-page advert, which hails the power of, what else, but newspapers. The tag line is

You're one of 1.4 billion people in the world reading a newspaper today. More than ever before, the well-informed are deciding it's silly not to.

So, are newspapers still going strong? We haven't all abandoned our morning paper and read it online? Does the claimed 1.4 billion include all the discarded copies of Metro and Herald AM?
