And the  NYT and the like, compared to Wikipedia, aren't
going to "fade" anytime  soon. Archives of major newspapers from over a
century ago are available.  >>>

I'd like to add, that contrary to newspaper reports going away over time,  
the opposite is happening.
The huge surge in interest in genealogy, is bringing many old newspapers  
out-of-the-grave and onto sites like ancestry, genealogy and  newspaperarchive.
 
Thousands of pages per day are being put back into the "easy part" of the  
public domain.  That part you can view from your desk instead of going to  some 
repository.  The ability to trawl these old newspapers is now becoming  a core 
feature of many genealogy services and will soon be hitting history and  
biography in a major way as well.
