When I finally cancel my Vancouver Sun subscription, it will be, not because of the internet, but because the quality of the paper has dropped irredeemably. I've read it all my life, it used to be a solid paper with lots of good journalism. They've laid off almost everyone who made it worth reading, and half the content comes straight from the National Post. Interestingly, the various papers to which I have online subscriptions are all basically independent, as opposed to huge conglomerates, and whether leaning left or right, the quality of journalism is apparent.
