Newspapers needs more than a small niche of audience to succeed. Just because the author gets warm feelings reading evening news and comics, doesn't mean there are many people who feels the same.
Newspapers are a dying breed not because they lack in depth analysis or quality of writing or lack of entertainment. NP are dying breed simply because its inconvenient.
If you already have cable tv and internet, NP is another way of getting the same news but much later when news has been beaten to death by other news source. Its not fast enough, you don't get instant update or instant follow-up. You have to wait for next day to get follow up on an interesting news, by the time you get update on that news; its already old stuff.
Comics and puzzle is not good enough to sell newspaper.
Newspaper has a special place in my childhood memory. I grew up reading multiple newspapers a day, waited anxiously for comics or movie reviews. It made sense then. There is a time and place for everything, the time for daily newspaper is coming to an end.
