An article on the Nieman Foundation's website looks at the success that Montreal's La Presse has had in moving a daily newspaper from paper to an ambitious tablet focused publishing model. As far as I know they represent one of very few successful newspaper transitions from dead tree publishing, and several other papers are planning to adopt their platform.
And, for those keeping score, "heavy users of digital newspaper news skew heavily to Apple products, and, here, La Presse+ is no different. More than 80 percent of the product's "opens" and of the time spent using it, come from the iPad."

Newspapers will not be successful in the digital age, not once the old timers die off.
Any newspaper that succeeds will really be a digital entity that happens to use dead trees as seen here. Glad some old newspaper guy somewhere wasn't a total tool.
