But the real cost was never the production of the physical newspaper - it was always centered on content. Content really hasn't gotten any cheaper to produce, though... the fact that they're saving a few pennies a copy (that they used to sell for money) by distributing their content for free online is really little comfort to them I'm sure.

The typical newspaper pays 15-20% of revenues towards content creation and the rest to printing and distribution.
The NYT spends a great deal more. Perhaps higher than 40% IIRC.
