I think we have a long, ongoing thread somewhere here about newspapers.

They've been gone from many hotels for years now. I kind of noticed at first and then stopped caring entirely. If USA Today was once a benefit, then it's been replaced by the new "benefit" of being able to get 100 times more (and better) news coverage, instantly, anytime I want it, from sources all over the world without the 18-24 hour lag time it take it to print it on the page and then physically ship it to my hotel.

I still see papers in larger/better hotels in locations where there's a diverse international clientele. Then I'll occasionally get something like FT or the International Herald-Tribune and I'll notice a few of the bigger papers for different languages in the lounge or lobby. Kind of nostalgic to grab and read a physical paper for a few minutes, but this isn't something I'm ever going to care enough about to guide my choice of hotels.
