The writers pointed out that usually such a title refers to some kind of issue with journalist ethics but this time it was specifically about a structural problem with the economics of the industry. In particular it detailed the collapse of the home distribution model and highlighted recent cases of illegal sales tactics. Inevitably, the web was cited as the main threat both in terms of providing an alternative way of accessing news and the growing use of keitai during commutes. The lack of decent archiving on the new site is a pain. Incidentally, there was a recent court judgement which has serious ramifications for local newspapers: http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/ed20071005a1.html I can only assume that the reason local newspapers have an agreement not to cite newswires as the source for their articles is that they use them so frequently it would become apparent to readers that their local rag had turned into a newswire aggregator.
