in india at least, there are actually more "new" newspapers and magazines that are primarily print coming up. this is interesting because while the world over the opposite is the case. On observation, it was found out that the government has to take out public notices of tenders and they are mandated to do so by print newspapers in local language and local area. enter small papers who print 10-20 copies, show a 1000, employ a couple of guys and take all the ad revenue. works out nice for them. the bigger ones with bigger readership have pages upon pages of government ads and they churn out employment for people. its really not about "truth" any more than not offending the reigning government because doing so would cut off their revenue stream so everything works out smoothly
