My point is simply that there are plenty of room for news it's just that the news organizations most probably need to focus much more as they can't maintain the overhead of covering more and more at the pace news are moving today.
It's not a natural law that newspapers have to cover both local, domestic and international news. This did make sense when the news industry was very different, but insisting that reality somehow seem to conform to their needs is in my opinion absurd (I am not saying you said that)
In my opinion news are fundamentally gossip, until it's verified, written up and if it's found important analyzed further.
The access to the actual news (plane went down in Hudson) is almost ever present which means that you don't have to staff up around the world just to be sure to catch what is going on.
There are so many areas that newspapers still seem to insist on keeping that it makes it impossible for them to get lean enough to make proper profit. And let's not forget that so many much smaller news sites are eating into their profit.
I like you enjoy well written articles, geopolitics and in depth analysis, but we are not the norm.
To most people what is going on around the corner is more important than what's going on in Iraq or Philadelphia.
That doesn't mean there isn't room for serious journalism. Just that it has to change it's scope.

Just my five cents of course.
