I'll say it and write it until somebody listens: it's not the Internet that's killing newspapers, it's leveraged buy-outs.
Newspapers can adjust to the Internet, just as they did to radio and TV. But they can't adapt if they are so saddled with debt that they have to cut the quality of their journalism.

Just saw my first "Dear Valued Customer: As of DATE, the Toronto Star will not be operating a vending box at this location. The nearest place to buy a Toronto Star is" for the Star.
This is at Woodbine and Danforth, not exactly an outlying suburb. Right near the subway, too.
The Star has been in trouble for a long time. The paper just can't connect with the public anymore. I don't see it enough to know why.
Ouch. Whole sector in trouble in the US.
