Is Print Dead? (Infographic)

We all know the newspaper industry has been hit long before the economic downturn of 2009.  As a magazine designer for a newspaper company, I was curious as to how the industry is doing as a whole: What parts of the industry have the most growth?  Where are the jobs?  Is employment falling?  How do books, magazines and newspapers compare with "new media"?

Here's some stats showing a few of the more interesting sectors packaged with some editoral illustration. Make sure you check out the references for links to more numbers coming out of the industry.
