I know that sounds rather fabulous -- as in "hard to believe" -- but I really believe that many super-respected journalists and editors are completely out of touch with the people, and that papers, like the NYT, which I still read and which is on my table right now, have come to present a very one-sided, exclusivist view of life in America. This, at least as much as the paper vs. web situation, is bringing them down, not because they don't *have* to change, but because their overarching belief in being "the chosen ones" and their subsequent sense of entitlement is making innovative change impossible.
