Why Don't People Seem to Put Engagement or Wedding Announcements in the Newspapers Anymore?

I was just looking at our local online newspaper, and oddly enough, they have divorces in there, but no weddings or engagements. I realize that people are not ordering subscriptions to their newspapers the way they used to thanks to certain economic factors, but I want to know why these announcements no longer seem to take precedence over things like divorce or general name changes. It's weird to me.

Suggestion:

Now that there is FaceBook and MyLife, people have alternate ways to get the news out through cyberspace where it stays for a much longer period than a newspaper on a coffee table would.
