Big screen in Nashville

I was fascinated by the big screen that I encountered in the lobby of the Courtyard by Marriott where we stayed last weekend in Nashville, TN. It offered a number of options for weather, eating and some news, all from USA Today. The eating links were local, and so was the weather, but the news was not - nothing about Nashville and non connection to the local newspaper. The print newspaper was not available at all at the hotel.
What's wrong with this picture for newspapers? A lot.
