Struggling to survive in a world saturated by the internet, newspapers across the country have been suffering the past few years, as ad revenue and readership fade. But the days following Obama's win have shown that people really do need the newspaper as a historical record of a monumental event.

The New York Times, the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times were all sold out by mid-morning on the day after Barack Obama was announced as the winner of the presidential election. Many papers went back to the presses, printing thousands more copies. The Washington Post planned to print 350,000 papers and then sell them for $1.50, triple the regular newsstand price. The Chicago Tribune will distribute an additional 200,000 copies.
