SAN FRANCISCO - SEPTEMBER 20: San Francisco Chronicle journeyman pressman Ray Lussier pulls two freshly printed copies of the Chronicle at one of the Chronicle's printing facilities September 20, 2007 in San Francisco, California. Newspaper sales in the U.S. continue to slide as people turn to the internet and television for their news.

Unable to sell as many papers as he used to, Gaub is looking for a new way to earn money after selling papers for 42 years. (Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)
