YES. There's a reason why magazines like Wired stay alive in print, even though they cater to the high tech set and put practically everything they do online -- DEPTH. Only true nerdiacs will sit and read the equivalent of a 6 page 3cols/page 10pt type article online. It's there if you REALLY want it, but people will still buy the magazine so they can read it at their leisure in the Barcalounger or while dumping.

A newspaper full of AP wire articles? Not so much.
