This was beautifully (although depressingly) illustrated on HBO's show The Wire, as the Baltimore Sun becomes rotten to its core, decaying as the best are laid off while the worst get promoted. The Internet will be the death of traditional journalism. Blogs like these (http://ladycatherinebedamned.blogspot.com/) will have a permanent place over papers like the NY Times. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but I will surely miss the old days of real journalism. Sigh, The newspapers are definitely on the verge of an obituary.

Nothing that the industry does will stop this as paper published products simply cannot keep up with real-time news flow and are inconvenient to use compared to the net. Watching the media industry live in denial, yearn for the good old days, and stumble to adapt is quite fascinating considering they are heading over the cliff. In ten to twenty years, future generations will be reading insider stories of how it all came crashing down and how futile the actions were of those in charge to stop it.

It is strange how they don't report on their own demise. I loved reading the newspaper as a child, but as I grew older, I began to understand how inaccurate, filtered, and supressed the newspaper was and I began to resent it. Today with blogging... Twittering... Digging... were killing another dinosaur. I can't wait to see the New York Times stuffed in a glass case next to the DoDo Bird at the Museum of Natural History. I welcome this news.

That would seem worth a mention in your post as well. Of course, the piece also noted that Internet advertising growth for newspapers has slowed also.
