Print vs. Digital

Here’s an interesting little tidbit I picked up from The Monday Note in my RSS Feed regarding digital revenues vs. print revenues.

“based on 2009 revenue estimates, Facebook is grossing about $1.5 per user and per year in ad revenue. Just to put things in an unpleasant perspective, this compares to the $647 a newspaper such as the Washington Post gets from its print advertising for each of its buyers or subscribers. Make that $215 for each of its readers assuming a rate of three readers per copy. (This is based on the full 2008 year).”
