Live video feeds, eyewitness reports, photographs. Things the reporter
can't screw up.

That's somewhat naive. All the photographer has to do is point the camera
in the wrong direction, or mistate the environment surrounding the events
(say, for example, a firefight in Baghdad) and you have no idea what is
going on. "Your eyes can deceive you." - Obi Wan. :

Yes, I still subscribe to my local newspaper. I have dropped my
subscriptions to Time, Newsweek, and US News & World Report. My local
newspaper still has TV and movie listings, grocery coupons, various
flyers,
etc., so it is still worth receiving.

That is proactive and reasonable.
