I give to NPR every year. I don't see much difference in how I should act towards the two organizations despite the newspapers ostensibly being for-profit (ha). I like NPR's product more, but they both provide a really valuable public service that I'm happy to pay for.
I don't know if newspapers can maintain their newsrooms on an NPR-sized budget, but I'd love to see them go that route.
