They have a phrase for this in the newspaper industry, "replacing print dollars with digital dimes".

The graph is apparently not inflation adjusted - so it de-emphasizes the drop in print advertising as compared to 1984- that is, on the graph, a dollar spen in 1984 is equal to a dollar spent in 2012. As a side note - anybody who ever plots $ over time, please add a small caption that either says "inflation adjusted" or "not inflation adjusted" - the educated reader will appreciate that greatly.
