There was an article on NPR the other day -- there are now special publishing 
companies that download newspapers from around the world for publication here 
in the US.  For example, if a business man from Brazil is in New York on 
business, he can get a copy of the main newspaper delivered to his hotel the 
same day as it's printed in Brazil.  Granted, not all papers can be received 
this way, but it is a big improvement over the way they were distributed in 
the past.  The report said that the biggest cost in publishing a newspaper 
was the cost in distributing it.  Especially the Sunday Editions, that seem 
to have to be the weight of two bricks <VBG>.
