I read 2 - 3 newspapers everyday. I love the immediacy of on-line news, and when I want to research a subject, it's definitely the net. But newspapers fill in things. They give me more details than the television (rarely watch news there except breaking stories) or the radio (why don't they have PVR's for radio... I hate catching a bit of something & not being able to rewind). They provide local news that's too hard to find on the net. Newspapers provide context that TV/radio never do.
And, they're portable. And flexible. I can read a newspaper in much more comfortable positions than I can read things on the net. Laptops are handy, but moving around with one is still a pain. Newspapers are so much more sturdy than a computer. Print media may be fading, but it will not disappear. It may become much more of a niche market, but that niche won't be small.
