The business model will definitely evolve with all the digitization and internet pressures. Claiming that the industry is exhibiting "death throes" is way way way premature, though. The way I look at it, government power and spending are on the rise. Meanwhile, big media continues to be very important to politics, both as a source of money and as a source of star power for re-elections. Those two forces working together will be extraordinarily difficult to kill. Like a many-headed hydra, we'll whack off a head or two, but the darned thing will keep fighting for its existence.
