Enough of doom and gloom. Here's some good news for the newspaper industry.

The folks at The Bivings Report have compiled a list of the Top 10 newspaper websites and run through the features that make them special. They were rated "not only on their web features but also on the design, aesthetics and general usability of the site."

And, the winners are...

1. The New York Times
2. The Washington Post
3. USA Today

For the Nos. 4-10, please check out the Bivings post itself.

So, just what made the best, the best?
