In the end, one of the main reasons newspapers is dying in the United States because of competition, which is something we can take for granted. There are dozens of newspapers covering the same stories and reproducing the same AP bylines every day, most of them for free online. Would I buy a printed out copy of that the next day? Of course not. Why would I? But If I spoke Urdu (a language that's very difficult to render on-screen), it would probably be a different story. Where would you even go to get the news? That's the interesting dichotemy of the news (and I say this as someone working on a news startup); there's an almost-fundamental need held by everyone to understand what is happening in the world, so why can't producing that make money? Because news is a very, very crowded space. It's all about supply/demand.
