Online revenues of U.S. newspapers will surge by an estimated 36 percent to $1.4 billion this year, according to a new report by research company eMarketer. What's more, revenues will continue to
rise--by 23 percent next year, 16 percent in 2007, and 18 percent in 2008--according to the report, "Online Publishing: Focus on Newspapers." eMarketer based its predictions on newspapers' published
financial results and ad spending data from the Interactive Advertising Bureau and PriceWaterhouseCoopers. -- Wendy Davis
