Internet Overtakes Newspapers
Though the newspaper industry has stopped some of the bleeding and only declined 5% overall in 2010, the Internet has passed the industry in U.S. ad revenue.
According to Ad Age, this makes the Internet “the second-largest ad medium behind TV.”
Thus, the Standard and Poor’s S&P 500 Index has decided to drop The New York Times Company and replace it with Netflix, which has embarked on a new big effort to stream its movies and television programs over the Internet.

Church Attendance and Movies

- Sources: Gallup, 06/25/10, Variety, 01/04/12 (Page 20), and The Barna Group, 07/26/11.
Weekly church attendance among adults in the United States is 43.1%, according to Gallup.
If extrapolated to include children, the number of Americans attending regular church services weekly could be as high as 134.86 million people out of the 312.9 million people in America.
Of that number, the Barna Group says 15% of adults, or 36.61 million people, also regularly go to Sunday School on a typical Sunday, and at least 19% of adults, or 46.37 million people, donate some of their time weekly to serving at a church.
This compares to only 24.58 million people, including children and adults, who went to the movies in a typical week in 2011 in both the United States and Canada, according to ticket sales information culled from Variety, the main trade paper for the entertainment industry.
