Newspapers are not going to disappear. They will simply move to the Internet. The print editions will disappear entirely. Ads will continue to be sold. But these surviving newspapers will exist on a rather tight budget. No longer will the executives and star reporters enjoy lavish expense accounts. And most of them will focus almost exclusively on local events and personalities.
