I think it will be very interesting to see what happens with newspaper circulation as time passes. Where will it be 20 years from now? At this point, I know very few people my age that receive a newspaper at home, but I imagine most of my contemporaries' parents do indeed subscribe, just as mine do. It would be interesting to see an age breakdown of these circulation numbers, with a projection of where they will be years from now, when many of the older subscribers are no longer with us (morbid as that may sound).
