You need some. But all the papers folding so far have laid off 50 to 90% of their news-gathering staffs and not just printing & delivery. For example the Seattle Post-Intelligencer had already outsourced their printing & delivery last year to the only other surviving Seattle daily paper. They are only keeping about 20 to 25 of 167 news gathering employees. They are going to use the newswires to feed their news gathering outside of local coverage & blogging.
It's seems my little brother's choice of getting a degree in journalism was unwise. Consdiering where this is headed for all newspapers.
