Old media beats new media in snow havoc

Impressed to see a full set of newspapers at the newsagent's again today despite all the snow havoc, chaos etc.
Even more so after listening to BBC Radio 4's PM programme last night and hearing about all the transport and information websites that went down because there was too much demand. It seems an inherent fault of the internet that when a site is really popular and at its most needed it crashes.
I know I live in London, but the capital seemed at a complete standstill yesterday morning - yet the papers got through. People who distribute newspapers are the unsung heroes of the industry
