What is the point of sending me thick stacks of expensive paper containing car and home ads, when I have no interest in looking at them? But I get to take a huge stack out to recycle once a week. Well, I used to, but not any more.

The thing that newspapers do well is local news. For them to survive, they must find a way to publish local news on the web and make money.

Instead of complaining about what Google News takes from their site, they should just create an RSS feed with the content they want published. Then block the rest of their site.

Finally, they should create their own news aggregator sites, to make their content easy to find. Is their a more cluttered web site than the NY Times home page?
