People are no longer willing to pay for news.

Among the nation's daily newspapers in 2007, "circulation fell another 2.5 percent from the year before, advertising revenues declined by 7 percent, and the growth of online advertising slowed significantly, according to the "State of the News Media 2008" report by the Pew Project for Excellence in Journalism.
