This would seem to disagree with you on this one.

As for me, most all of the print sources I read these days are far more easily accessed online. News is fresher by far than anything in the newspaper or in a magazine, certainly.

"It seems that newspaper publishing is the only area in print being affected."

I wanted to add "magazines", but they still have a few winds.

Dying magazines and daily newspapers only suffer because their content has to be fresh. Most books, for example, are timeless, a work of art so to speak.

Judging by the Grim Reaper's site, I can see that dead or dying magazines are those about celebrity gossip, lifestyle and entertainment, and Internet business.

I think that the rise of the free daily in most major western cities, the increased revenues realized by newspapers that have actively engaged readers through the web in addition to their papers and the human conditioning to textural stimuli are all good examples of why print will always exist in some form or another.
