Because people reading or watching the electronic media don't have to think as much (it uses a different part of your brain, than you use to read a newspaper. They also don't have to clean up after newspaper, print magazines. Lastly they don't have to waste their time reading stories they don't want to.

Hmm. Probably the biggest relevant trend is that mass media is getting less and less "mass." In other words, the audience has been splintered. That means a general interest publication like a newspaper suffers. But it also applies to Life, Readers Digest, the nightly network newscasts, etc. Heck, it applies to television ratings for just about everything but the Super Bowl and American Idol.
There are a ton of magazines out there, but few try to appeal to everyone. Lots of TV channels. Top 40 radio is about gone, which every station having a small niche.
Computers obviously appeal to this trend, as you can go where you want for specific news. Keep in mind, though, that espn.com is still "read." You can print out what you want and read it. Same with blogs, etc. Yes, there is an increasing amount of video on line, but the Internet is still driven by words.

The little ones learned and mastered communication with the idiot box.
Here's a guiding star "How we don't talk anymore"
With living human kind on planet earth.
Sound like they all gone dumb.
Ever wonder why they could no longer communicate with newspaper and magazines?
