The "they" here is a bit broad for such a generalization. Some do, some don't. Of course, that's true for blogs as well--the more conscientious of them will note changes. The relative prevalences of such a practice between the two media, of course, is certainly something that could be discussed, but to say that all newspapers note changes to their online versions is about as accurate as saying no blogs do.
Note the recent case where the NYT stealth-changed an article and didn't note the fact until Wikipedians called them out on it.
(Anyone who makes a blanket statement that the press is reliable and blogs aren't is on crack.)
That, or maybe they just fell into one.
