As I was researching for my presentation on Monday, we kept reading about the argument that young people don't read newspapers. I was wondering what Gannett was doing about this problem that some say is going to be what really kills the newspaper industry.

On their web page they have a list of 11 publications that they call "young reader publications." These publications are targeted at the 20 and 30 somethings, says the web page. One of these publications are produced in Louisville, Ky.

These publications are more tabloid size than broadsheet like a daily newspaper. They usually come out once weekly and have more feature stories and bolder designs. Many of these 11 publications have at least 40,000 in circulation. 

I think that these publications are good for newspapers however I don't think that they will in turn get the 20-30 year olds to start reading a daily newspaper.

Here is a link to see all of the young reader publications that Gannett publishes:
