I have to go with Sean on this one. The once great NYT reporting has
become lazy and skewed towards a liberal bias. In addition to the
obvious impact the internet has had on this and other
"institutions", the fact is that the country is center-right. You
can't exist by losing your objectivity(with regards to actual news
reporting) and effectively alienating half of the population.

The same New York Times that declared on a page 1 story in 2002 that
the Bush Administration had proof of WMDs in Iraq?
for fun, some of the corrections the "paper of record" has made this
year (and yes many of these are on smaller non-page one pieces, and
lots of papers whether in print or online make mistakes, but most of
them don't hold themselves to the same standards as the NYT):
? Confused Cyprus, the country, with cypress, the tree.
? Ran an article about appreciating the beauty of cherry trees,
accompanied by a picture of crab apple trees.
? Erroneously asserted that during World War II,
<http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2012/03/07/governments-role-in-british-bank-creates-uneasy-alliance>Britain
had a marketing slogan.
? Mistook the Jersey City waterfront
<http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/29/fashion/with-mob-wives-silent-partners-no-longer.html?scp=1&sq=mob%20wives&st=cse>for
the Manhattan skyline.
? Understated the Eurozone bailout by $667 billion.
? Understated the revenue gain from ending tax cuts for the rich
<http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/12/business/economy/looming-fiscal-cliff-may-already-be-stalling-business-activity.html>by
$798 billion. Reporter responsible, would you like to be on the
Republican ticket?
? Understated the likely cost of Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act
<http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/25/health/policy/3-million-more-may-lack-insurance-due-to-ruling-study-says.html>by
$1.2 trillion. Reporter responsible, would you like to be on the
Democratic ticket?
? In an article about retirement funding, used an estimate that was
off by $1.2 trillion.
? "Misstated the number of presidents with 6 letters in their first names."
? Unfairly accused the Canadian Pacific Railroad of
<http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2012/02/14/americas-export-to-canada-shareholder-activism>planning
to start a thermonuclear war.
? Admitted a Page 1 article was based on a substantial error in the
use of statistics. Topic of the article? Educational standards.
? Incorrectly declared that passengers departing a plane from San
Juan to New York City must "go through Customs" because they might
bring items
"<http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/01/pageoneplus/corrections-april-1.html?_r=1&ref=corrections>to
the United States from Puerto Rico."
? Incorrectly declared that a bachelor party had been held at Legoland.

True, much of the today's news can now be had from trending twitter
hashtags, but you all are ignoring the fact that the convenience of
instant access sacrifices quality and considerably so. You cannot
find better reporting than that of the NY Times period; you may of
course argue that the internet can make up for this loss, but such
wouldn't change the fact that it is the newsprints that are the most
informative and do a better job than any website (or string of
websites for that matter) possibly can.
And I'm probably younger than most of you (still in college), so
shame shame shame, pick up a paper.

news in the paper that I probably didn't know about yesterday while
reading it online.

I'm surprised most print media is still alive today, much less a few
years from now.
the only time I get a newspaper is when I'm at an airport going
somewhere. Other than that I get my written news online where I can
choose a variety of sources every day.
as the Baby Boomers die off, print will be gone

Yup, sadly, the end of print media is happening somewhat sooner,

A weekly newsmagazine? In the age of the Internet and the 24-hour news cycle?)
That said...
As a cartoonist and freelance writer I've made all or some of my
living in print for most of my adult life. That ended earlier this
year when the alt weekly I cartooned for was shuttered by its
corporate masters. At a cartoonists convention a scant week after
that, one of Canada's best-known editorial cartoonists predicted
that the paper he works for won't even exist, in print form or maybe
in any form, in three years. Now it looks like he was being optimistic!

On the heels of MCW ending comes the end of Newsweek, One by one
they will all go. Time is next, and then The New York Times (yes,
The New York Times).
