Clifford Burchfield sleeps in an abandoned building in the Algiers section of New Orleans, Louisiana with no plumbing, electricity or running water. He can't afford television, much less the Internet. But Burchfeld still devours the news every day from the Times-Picayune newspaper, or at least he will until this fall, when New Orleans becomes the largest metro area in the nation without a daily paper. "That's my only way of getting the news," Burchfeld said, shirtless in the 90-degree heat and incredulous at a Times-Picayune headline announcing "PAPER LAYS OFF 200 EMPLOYEES." (David Grunfeld/MCT)
