"Print media in the United States may be suffering a decline, but that isn't the story everywhere ... Newspaper circulation declined in North America and Europe, by 9.2 percent and 2.9 percent respectively in the period between 2004 and 2009. However, it increased 16.4 percent in South America, 16.1 percent in Asia and 14.2 percent in Africa during the same period, according to a study by Columbia University titled "The Future of Print Media." Two countries in which newspapers have actually seen an increase in popularity are Brazil and India." (Quoted from article)
