well that is part of the problem- newspapers, tv news, trained journalists are competing with the internet and any yahoo with a exhibitionist streak and a blog. The world is losing it's sense of propriety, privacy, wahtever- in order to compete many feel they have to be as sensationalist as the internet, and that just doesn't work for this format.

would anyone have complained if those snaps had just surfaced online? probably not. but being published in a newspaper still lends a certain amount of credibility and justification to them. Which means newspapers need to be more accontable- something that just isn't possible if they are slowly being turned into big advertorials.
