Hmm ... just a couple months ago, several major newspapers, including  
the NYT, the San Jose Mercury News, and the LA Times, laid off  
hundreds of reporters. This was only the most recent of many waves of  
newsroom layoffs over the past few years. Many papers are finding  
that it's not so easy to support a large newsroom staff when  
newspaper readership and ad revenues are declining. Many find they  
can rely on AP for basic coverage of world and national news, and  
readers don't complain. But sure enough, the quality (and  
comprehensiveness) of their coverage suffers.
