How many newspapers do Americans throw away every day?

Answer:
Each American family has an average of one daily newspaper and an additional type of newspaper. So theoretically, it would be one newspaper a day.

Note that many newspapers no longer deliver paper copies of their news. In Detroit, families get actual newspapers only three days a week, the rest of the time they are required to go online in order to 'read the paper.'
