A newspaper full of AP wire articles? Not so much.
See I think iphone and devices like that are killing the print model. I used to buy papers and mags because I didnt want to carry a computer in the john or in a store while my wife was shopping.But now with my phone im reading constantly, the 30 bucks a month for the data has paid for itself many times over.
