The only newspapers that will survive are the national newspapers (The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal) and super local newspapers that can operate with less than 10 reporters.

The NY Times and the WSJ may not make it, at least as we have always known them. I’m thinking online only - just entirely too much overhead to run the printing presses, buy the paper, hand carry the papers all over hell and gone.

Just too expensive.

I do agree that there won't be many newspapers left unless they radically lower the production costs.

And it will happen as newspapers in the USA abandon the expensive-to-produce broadsheet format in favor of smaller formats such as tabloid and Berliner.
