I Think the mainstream media is having a hard time adjust to the information age in general. Newscasts and newspapers can’t put out information fast enough compared to the web, and it’s eve gotten to the point where newspapers and journalists are resorting to ad hominem attacks on news blogs, and other new media criticizing their integrity and dismissing them as “illegitimate” journalism.
Television can probably deal with it (even though at this point it’s looking more like tabloid tv than real news), but I think print news media days are numbered. There’s just not much that a newspaper can offer that a well stocked RSS app can’t do, except for local content, but I think even that’s just a matter of time.
