I think this marks an important trend in print journalism. Newspapers are becoming a dying a breed. While I do believe we will start to see more and more newspapers heading this direction, I do not believe that printed newspapers will die out completely. However, they will probably become pretty sparse with only the few major ones surviving eventually.
I know I would much rather pay for an online subscription to a newspaper than receive it daily in print. It is much more convenient to be able to read it whenever and access it from wherever there is a computer. Besides, reading online doesn't leave the dreaded black streaks on your fingers from reading the newspaper.
