Newspapers use a variety of sources, both local and national to present a story.
They report daily and can do follow-up quickly. Magazines can offer in-depth stories. TIME's recent coverage of the Presidential race had a writer from the other person's camp as counterpoint to the stories. For example, the George W. Bush article had a writer from the Gore camp and visa versa. This allows for varying points of view within the story.
