I think the real problem in a lot of cases is that newspapers are trying to be something that they simply can't. They are trying to give you up to the minute news, but logistically you aren't going to receive it until the next day. They simply can't compete with the web for breaking news. Where I think they can win though is with relevant and in-depth reporting on stories which you won't see on the internet (and not just printing half of the AP feed either).

Yep. I think they need to come a little late to the table with WAY more substance and to follow scandals a month later with serious indictments. Let the net build the buzz before the big reporting and then spread the news and discussion after the big reporting. A good complement.
