I think newspapers are going the way of the VHS and cassettes. Besides the sentimental attachment some readers get, there is nothing a print paper provides that can't be found online, except the weekly ads on Sundays :)

I fail to see any competitive advantage print papers provide over instant, digital delivery. But, I am not stressing something people don't already know.

Excerpt: "2006 is noted as the first year in history where there was not a recession and newspaper revenues declined. The reports says 2007 is starting out even weaker than 2006." Clearly I get a lot of my news online, but I still can't imagine not reading a "real" newspaper every morning. I wonder how cheap these will have to get before I feel comfortable invesing in this declining business.
