When was the last time you checked a newspaper to see what's playing at a movie theater, or to find out how your favorite sports team did? If you're like most Americans, it's probably been a while, Stijn Debrouwere writes.

"But you’d be naive if you thought their services aren’t often consumed instead of news."
