Yet, someone seems to think that they can make moiney by selling printed copies of blogs.
Startup to distribute free reprints of blogs

SAN FRANCISCO -- Amid the din of naysayers who insist that newspapers are on the verge of death, a new company wants to start dozens of new ones -- with a twist.
The Printed Blog, a Chicago startup, plans to reprint blog posts on regular paper, surrounded by local ads, and distribute the publications free in big cities.
The first issues of this Internet-era penny-saver will appear in Chicago and San Francisco on Tuesday. They will start as weeklies, but Joshua Karp, the founder and publisher, hopes eventually to publish free neighborhood editions of The Printed Blog twice a day in many cities around the country.
"We are trying to be the first daily newspaper (composed) entirely of blogs and other user-generated content," he said. "There were so many techniques that I've seen working online that maybe I could apply to the print industry."
