    Well right but the issue is news organizations bleeding money...whether they are web or print based.

    Print is how they used to make their money (specifically ads and classifieds). None of the traditional news organizations, as far as I know, have figured out how to turn a profit off their websites.

    Blogs on the other hand are making money on the web - but that's because they don't have the real world costs associated with news organizations. They can simply reprint a story from the NYT.
