Please see arianedevere's Sherlock Transcript: "A Scandal in Belgravia" post for the transcript of the entire episode. This post is only concerned with the text of one of the newspaper articles we see on screen during the episode.
Part of the article is also shown at John's blog, entry for 12 August.
(This one gets rotated around the screen a bit during the episode, e.g. as Irene strokes a copy.)

Sherlock Holmes: net phenomenon
Questions over pair's
relationship with police
Blog reveals details that

Social media experts have revealed that
the infamous johnwatsonblog.co.uk has
oficially become one of the Internet's
most visited websites. Its growth in
number of users - or hits - has increased
rapidly over the last six months, ever
since its existence was revealed by this
newspaper.
Scotland Yard have so far refused to
confirm the veracity of "John Watson's"
claims, but a Sherlock Holmes and John
Watson have been confirmed to have
helped police with their enquiries. The
pair are believed to be the same men who
feature in the blog.

Goodness knows if this is foreshadowing or not, but the 'net phenomenon' article appears side-by-side with an article on the far right side of the page with the headline:

([offscreen], in this case, means 'obscured by Irene's riding crop' - I *think* that's the only shot in which we can see this article, and the text is too far out of focus, other than the headlines, to read during most of that shot. When it's in focus, large parts of it tend to be offscreen.)
