This is a part of wry the circulation is dropping, it's old and recycled news that dont go deap into hard or controversial issues. This is clasical when the tide changes some big icons are going to wound up a shadow of their former self and this is the faith of most of the localized daily omnibus papers.

I don't want to get all my news from so called "i-reporters" who happen to be at a certain place when an event happens. We still need knowledgeable, well-paid reporters who are willing to search out important stories and dig for the truth. A good story can take months to research. There's a place for electronic and a place for print - they don't have to be in conflict of one another. I love reading novels on my Sony, but I also enjoy my coffee and newspaper in the morning - as long as it is all advertising.
