CPI exec: Newspapers "obviously going to be entirely virtual"

NewAssignment.Net
"Newspapers will cease to exist on paper over time," says Center for Public Integrity founder Charles Lewis. "The question's not, is it going to happen -- it's when." The public-private ownership structures of the NYT, WSJ, and WP have protected the papers to some degree, notes John McQuaid, but Lewis doesn’t think that can last. "All three of those papers have had to cut back, had some reductions. The one that will probably be the first to go, conventional wisdom is the Wall Street Journal, because the pattern with families is, they break up. They begin to sell off for the money in descending generations."
