This should come to no surprise to anyone, except maybe newspapers.

Honestly, I’m not sure why I haven’t cancelled my newspaper subscription. It’s nice to be able to read while eating breakfast, and until electronic paper starts to be viable, I’m pretty much stuck with hard copy. With electronic paper, ideally, it would hit the ‘Net and update itself, so I’d always have an up-to-date newspaper. On the other hand, it would be a lot more expensive to leave a newspaper on the train.
Realistically, though, more and more people get their news through the Web, and advertising revenues are down. Newspapers have to adapt or die.
