Behind the Scenes of a Newspaper as it Says Goodbye

People are turning to forms of new media to get their news now.  I don't ever read a printed newspaper.  I don't even watch the news on TV (partially because I gave up cable).  Why?  I'm able to get all of the same information online, but instead of just from one source, I can get it from hundreds or thousands of other sources.  One of my favorite sites for many years has been Google News for that very feature.  Also, if I do want to catch up on the news, I can watch shortened clips on many of the major television sites now (CNN being my favorite).  As with everything in my life, there is a equal reaction that has been set in motion by this convergence to new forms of media.
