I was looking at Guardian website and found this article from last Summer. It raises a couple of interesting questions with regard to newspapers and internet tv. Namely that there will come a day when accessing a newspaper will be something internet driven and the actual paper won't be needed. I remember when I worked at The Financial Times five years ago and they were saying the same thing then. It hasn't happened. People still buy newspapers. People like to have a physical paper, to flick the pages over and have a coffee while doing the crossword. Note the comment about locally generated news being the first thing to "radically transform". Now that is something that we already see happening.
Take a look.

I think the paper based press will be around for a long time yet.
There are still a huge amount of older generation people who cannot/will not use a computer.
I have no doubt the day will come when everything is internet based, is that good, I am not convinced.
But if the past is to tell us anything, everything evolves in life. Video recorders become DVD's, Phone become mobile and radio's become digital.
I guess when it finnally happens it won't be such a shock and we will probaly see the transition coming.
Tom - I don't think there will come a day when everything is internet based. Then again, 15 years ago I didn't even have email...
