"Americans have become news grazers both on and offline - but within limits," said Amy Mitchell, deputy director for the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism.

"They generally don’t have one favourite website but also don’t search aimlessly. Most online news consumers regularly draw on just a handful of different sites."

Regular readers of newspapers - either local ones or national papers such as the New York Times - have dropped to 50%, the survey said.

Newspapers on both sides of the Atlantic have been going through difficult times as advertising slows and more readers migrate to the internet.

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer was among many that closed last year, while the Chicago Tribune and San Francisco Chronicle have gone through huge job cuts.

In 2009, the Daily Mail and General Trust cut 1,000 jobs at its regional arm Northcliffe Media, which publishes more than 100 newspapers in England and Wales.

Media tycoon Rupert Murdoch, the chairman and chief executive of News Corp, also shut down the London Paper and announced that his group of papers will charge for online news.

The group owns the Sun, the Times, the Wall Street Journal and the New York Post, as well as Fox and Sky brands.

Mr Murdoch has accused firms such as Google of profiting from journalism by generating advertising revenue by linking readers to newspaper articles.

The New York Times will also charge for access to the website by 2011.

I have just been reading this piece written by Stan Collymore (who as we all know has had it his own domestic issues during his playing career) and was wondering who thinks the same or who thinks that maybe JT should sit out Wednesday's England game against Egypt at Wembley?.

Don't get me wrong fellow blues. I am right behind JT as our Captain, Our Leader and Our Legend on the pitch, but let's face it, he hasn't played great in the last few weeks and I feel that on Wednesday night if he takes to the field he will be villified by the fans and no one wants to see or hear that.

We all know what the so-called press did to David Beckham in 98'. The are doing the same to John Terry now and will continue on this witch hunt for a long while yet. JT finds himself in the situation now where if England don't win the World Cup then its his fault, If he stands down from the squad like Bridge and we don't win it, then its his fault again. If England win the World Cup then that's the only way in which he will come out of the tournament with some credit, but knowing the English Press it will be everyone BUT him.

So is it an idea for Terry to lie low for this week or should he play?

What do you think?

CAREFREE & KTBFFH EVERYONE!
