The World Association of Newspapers, in collaboration with Borrell Associates, surveyed newspapers across all continents about the growth of Internet and print revenues from 2005 to 2007.
 
The survey results show that despite signs of a worldwide economic slowdown, digital revenues are rising at a spectacular rate.
 
However, these increases are less dramatic than in previous years, particularly in Europe and North America, which have well-established online newspaper operations.
