At Northwestern, we have just subscribed to "NewspaperDirect."  The 
print quality is, in some cases, better than what you would receive 
from the publisher.  In the long run, it will save money.  In the 
meantime, it makes it possible to have foreign papers today.  As our 
head of newspapers says: 

"At least it gets the print papers to be timely and less expensive. 
And, somehow, it seems to me, holding and reading an actual printed 
paper is a very different experience from going to a newspaper web 
site. I'll be interested to see how users respond to our 
NewspaperDirect papers over the next year."
