I personally don't have a newspaper coming to my door.

Hate me if you wish, but I live in 2013.  So papers just clutter up the place.

I have a number of news channels on my Bell-dish-tv, at home.  A CBC news app on my BB-torch-9810.

I come home at the end of a day's work... I don't want more work...to get what's happening.

That is why I think the "paper" will eventually end......(sorry).

Still, if it's not photoshopped (and it seems not, but I'm no expert) it's fascinating to see the exact same newspaper on all sorts of programs - over a 20 year span!

Probably they would have to pay money to use a real paper! So, they make one mock-up and reuse it over and over. I'm just guessing, of course.

Probably if a newspaper wanted to pay for product placement it could be arranged ......  otherwise they use a fake one .....  what I wonder is if all those examples have a production house or such common to them .......
