exist or disappear? Newspapers!

After reading the article "How to save your newspaper", I realized that the prospect of newspaper is really on the edge of cliff and I am also astonished that the newspaper will really disappear in some major cities.
This article reminds me that a popular issue we talked in China -- whether the newspaper will disappear. Generally speaking, our teachers would like to convice us that the newspaper will never disappear which it may change to other form so that we can have a sweet fantasy for our future career. Moreover, there are indeed some reasons to demonstrates the future of newspaper such as the old people's preference for traditional form of newspaper and the high reliability of information of newspaper. These factors made the future of newspaper still prosperous.
However, we should realized that the excessive attention on attracting advertisement and the neglect of content making will bring disaster to the newspaper industry since there are so many competitors in present life, even the audience can be content creators.
But, I don't believe that the future of newspaper in China will disappear since the existing of political newspaper which do not depend on the advertisement income. As long as it can resist to the change, there is still a long way for it to go.

I suddenly remember what my father said when I decided to choose journalism as my major. When I talked about this issue to him, he told me the newspaer will definitely not disappear within 50 years (in China). But what will be the reality? No one knows.
