The future of newspapers

With American journalism changing to a much faster pace of reporting news, will the newspapers become extinct? Like Leonard Downie Jr. and Michael Schudson I feel that they won't. The report said, "Newspapers and television news are not going to vanish in the foreseeable future, despite frequent predictions of their imminent extinction. But they will play diminished roles..." I feel this is exactly what will happen. I don't feel that there will ever be the vast need for newspapers like there once was, but I still feel that newspapers are needed. For example, there are some people that do not have the Internet. My grandfather is one of those people. Every day he gets all of his information from newspapers. My other grandpa has the Internet at his house, but he still likes to the read the Sunday paper every morning before starting his day. I think that this could be a common thing for older people, but what about the youth in the world? They have grown up with the Internet. When they are older are they going to want to read the paper or get it the same way they have always done it? I feel they will use the Internet, but I feel the paper will still be useful. I still read the paper from time to time. It can give me more localized information, and it also has stories in there that aren't news worthy, but they are interesting. I feel that the newspapers will be for more local events and other random uses, but they will still be needed.
