Your metrics are totally irrelevant. Minutes spent reading and page views are a completely irrelevant way of comparing these two media. Newscorp reported a 97% drop in profits in 2008 and newspaper companies have reported similar drops on the whole since 2001. Your comparison may be valid for people who go directly to a news website homepage and browse several articles (similar to how people utilise the paper medium). However most people link directly to a particular article of interest online. The only way to compare is how many people read at least one article in a newspaper vs how many people read at least one news article online. Pages and time spent are bullshit metrics for comparison of these two media. Most bullshit analysis ever! Your metrics are totally irrelevant.
