I still read two newspapers a day, "The Australian", which is a national newspaper, and "The Courier-Mail", which is a state publication.
I only read a little paper called the Metro that I get for free at the train station and read half of during the morning commute and the rest on the way home. It's about 40-50 pages in total, half and half ads and news bites. I get way more in depth information and editorial online from my Mac's RSS newsreader application.
IMHO, the day the last newspaper is printed will be a day of mourning: I certainly do not want to get my news from only the electronic media - I note that even when Cotty or Bob W give us links to BBC News items, they are often preceded by ads.
Your printed newspaper articles aren't flanked by ads? Just wondering.
There is also a long list of things you can't do with electronic media, including: Spread it all over the bed or couch.

Pass a section to a neighbour.
Our crazy old dog-collecting neighbor cuts all the automotive content from three major papers and carries it down the street for us to read. :-)
Read it three weeks(or months or years or centuries) later.
Generally only when we unpack a box from the last move.
Wrap the garbage in it. Put it under the litter tray ... and many more I can't think of right now. John in Brisbane
We line the kitchen-waste "green bin" with newspapers so it doesn't get too icky. Dunno what we'll do when the crazy old neighbor dies.
