One of the things that is often overlooked in the discussion of newspaper erosion, is that traditional newspapers are still really the only medium where one can find a wide breath of issues and subjects covered. I have yet to find a website (not affiliated with a tradiitional media source) that can cover many subjects (politics, sports, business, entertainment, consumer, etc....) at the same time. Online publications often provide more enhanced and in-depth coverage on narrowly tailored subjects than traditional media sources. But rarely if ever are these sites a clearinghouse for stories across a wide spectrum, unlike traditional newspapers.
