I agree that the prominent newspapers have failed to distribute their brands as broadly as they could have. For the New York Times specifically, I don't think it is too late yet.
Quoted: When you think about your business, realize that it is a combination of assets and constraints. The Times understood both, but suddenly, the constraints changed. Now, it's possible for a single individual with a Typepad account to reach more people than almost any newspaper in the country can. Loosen one constraint and the game changes. That leaves you with the assets, for a while anyway.

Well, she did an amazing job with http://nytimes.com.
Quoted: We're excited about it from a technology perspective, but media industry analyst and RWW Jobwire guest editor Sam Whitmore discusses the move in terms of what it means for the Times as a business as well over in the Jobwire Featured Hire of the Day (sponsored by VisualCV).

Was curious about traffic to The New York Times website.
Quoted: "The New York Times site (which has some articles behind the TimesSelect pay wall) attracted a unique audience of 12,960,000 users in February, who combined for 455,527,000 page views."
In comparison (from http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/is_digg_really_more_popular_than_facebook.php ), Digg has 1/2 the page views but 2x the number of visitors.

Interesting point on online newspapers and charging for content. The net effect of the NYT making Tom Friedman's content available only to Times Select subscribers is that fewer people will read his opinion.
Quoted: I beg the Times to take down the wall for all of their columnists for the next month so that their columnists can take place in the critical debate our country is having about the direction it wants to go in.
