Journalists not reading??

I know exactly what Cory Haik means when she says no one is reading the paper.  I had a subscription to the Los Angeles Times but found I couldn’t get all the way through it on a daily basis.  I now go on-line.  Is this a poor substitution?  As Robert Hopwood points out, part of the job of a multimedia journalist is to ensure the on-line product is as informative as what we find in print.  It shouldn’t be looked at as a substitution but as THE product.  Somehow though, I still find myself missing my subscription to the Los Angeles Times.  Is that wrong? And if journalists aren’t reading?  Why do we expect our readers to?
