A recent Pew Research report finds some bad news for traditional print media with newspapers seeing perhaps their worst year since the Great Recession. But there's good news for all things digital: many more people are seeking information on social media sites and in the mobile realm. We examine the trends on all platforms, and look at ramifications for the actual work of journalism.
