2. It takes money to pay good reporters and photographers.

And yes, reporters and photographers deserve to be paid for their labors. I don't begrudge the newspaper industry trying to stay in business. I too want information, but I want GOOD information, for which I'm willing to pay the price of a newspaper subscription (if only I could get home delivery!)

You get what you pay for. And if it's free, you have to question how good it is.

Newspapers need to go back to paid subscriptions, both print and online, or they'll die. The Wall Street Journal continues to charge for online access, and they continue to be healthier than papers that don't charge.
