It's because newspapers are bleeding and they're trying new revenue streams. Subscriptions and advertising are down about everywhere because people are going on-line more and more... so they're trying to recoup the money from it.
Bigger city papers like NY have a much larger subscription/advertising base to draw from so they haven't hit on as hard of times yet. Yet.
