Serious question. How is it that Google makes billions of dollars on ads and newspapers that depend on ads are suffering?

Because depending on ads to pay journalists is a crappy business. Ads are worth it if the content with the ads is super cheap to generate (e.g. search result pages, or user generated content)

What's the difference between Google and newspapers? A massive focus on technology.
