Even newspapers will have to consider the new approach. The web has made "news" an almost prescient object -- like something we find out about either "as it happens" or almost "before it happens." No print media can keep up with that. The better bet for print is to comment or report more in depth on what is newsworthy instead and throw in an interesting angle while they're at it.
