The Rheinische Post made a rapid decline. While I never like their conservative stance, they used to have extensive articles. I think they made some deep budget cuts. Today they mostly only parrot dpa-articles.
Their website is a medium catastrophy, written by analphabets.
They still have a kind of monopoly here on the regional news, that's why they still do ok in print.
For NRW news, you can check out derwesten.de, unfortunately they focus mainly on the Pott, and less on D'town.

And Express still is, as it always was, a great paper for giggles! They lack Bild's malignance, which makes it the better yellow paper.
