How Much “News” Is In The Newspaper?

Exactly one year ago today, I decided to have a little fun with a newspaper.

After mindlessly and habitually blazing through the daily paper in under fifteen minutes, I got to wondering- just how much “news” is in your average daily newspaper?

So I decided to find out. I bought four copies of a Wednesday paper, laid them all out on the floor and cut out the “news” from the front and back of each sheet of two copies and then I cut out the ads and filler from the front and back of each sheet of two copies.

What I found wasn’t very surprising.
