I hope the traditional newspaper with deep, broad, daily coverage can survive, but I'm not sure they can. We may be left with state news organizations (BBC), donation supported news organizations (NPR), news organizations that do newsgathering for the purpose of informing investments (Bloomberg), and organizations with less ambitious coverage goals (any of the online news magazines). The wire services may end up being the last to go or they may carve out a niche even if the national papers of record can't.
