title: "State of the News Media: Audio"
description: "Most people still listen to news, talk and music for at least a little while every week, and they do most of this listening through traditional broadcast, or “terrestrial,” radio. This is where the audience is largest. Yet this is where the profit and revenue are under the most pressure.  Many stations have left the air and some owners of multiple stations have entered bankruptcy."
