The newspapers weren't the ones that decided that. Bloggers, rival news aggregate sites, 24 cable news networks and the shear weight of an internet populated by millions of people who fancy themselves reporters decided that. The newspapers are doing the only thing they can think of to survive (and all it will do is seal their fate), had they stodgily stuck to dead trees they'd die out just as fast.
