In yet another indication of the fading relevance of print media, Many people probably don’t remember the last time they picked up a newspaper. The rise of digital media and technology has transformed the way we access our news and entertainment. Total estimated weekday circulation of U.S. daily newspapers was 55.8 million in 2000. It dropped to 24.2 million by 2020, according to Editor & Publisher and the Pew Research Center. Since then it has slid even further, and now it is having an effect on one local newspaper. In Brevard County, legal ads may soon be moved totally online and out of the newspaper. It comes after a unanimous vote Tuesday by the Brevard County Commission.

Brevard County leaders say in the 2021-22 budget year, they paid more than $79,000 to place legal ads in the local newspaper.
