Marriott stopped it as a "required" policy, perhaps, but many Marriott-family hotels still carry the paper, just don't deliver (usually keep it on the lobby desk, in some cases also in the lounge).

Maybe they should mimic Choice Hotels? Choice is in a similar position (no requirement any more, but many hotels still carry the paper), but every morning that I'm in a Choice hotel in the USA I get an email offering me a free online USA Today read (which otherwise requires a paid subscription to read the print version online).

Ie, in exchange for "getting rid of" the print version, why can't they offer an electronic version? (You can delete the email if you don't care.)
