It appears to me that the medium of paper is on its way to becomming obsolete. It is so much cheaper to publish via the Internet, no newsprint, no presses to maintain, no people to maintain them. Also, disposing of all that paper everyday - or, if you are like me, you let them pile up and then have to get rid of a lot of it - is a bother that most people probably will not miss.
Then, there is the youth audience to consider. They are computer and online oriented. It appears to be much easier to get them to read material on their computers than in newspapers, magazines and books. The future is online, at least until something else comes along.
