Michelle Malkin » Newspapers dying. You should care.

From August, but See-Dubya's words are worth keeping in mind as we read about layoffs and price increases: "As much as I'm for amateur and semi-pro sleuthing, the fact remains that most news gets reported because someone, somehow, gets paid to report it. Obviously, newspapers need to adapt and respond to market pressures. And maybe someday maybe the web will be organized to deliver the same degree of full-time local reporting and investigation that print media does, and a paperless news environment will come about. Until then I'm going to keep subscribing to a paper-even though I'm not in any particular hurry to get cable TV."
