Where they will get their news from when the newspapers (and their associated websites) close down is anyone's guess. Not from TV -- most of their news originated in newspapers too. And all the newspapers will close down, it's an economic inevitability. Who do you know under 30 who buys a newspaper every day? Or even once a week? I give them all 20 years, tops.
