Content that newspapers used to "own," from news and sports to jobs and real estate, have fragmented across different channels. Overtaken by: Crikey.com.au Seek.com.au Ohmynews.com At the same time, the increasing price of newsprint — up 11% in the past six months — makes the cost of printing a paper for fewer readers ever more costly  70% of Gen Y’s have broadband
