What's Really Killing Newspapers
This August 2008 article diagnoses problems in the newspaper industry as arising from the fact that newspapers are "no longer the best providers of social currency." (Social currency "is often used to describe the information we acquire and then trade -- or give away -- to start, maintain, and nurture relationships with our fellow humans.") Includes links to an Associated Press study and related articles back to 2003. From the online magazine Slate.
