Why Newspapers Will Continue to Milk Their Current Business Until They Die

Newspapers have been around seemingly forever. Just like how radio had its existence threatened when the television came around, newspapers are having a similar scare too because of the internet. In this case, newspapers will have to start putting their stories online as well. This will regain the percentage of readers that turned to online news instead of buying a newspaper. Newspapers have to decide whether or not they want to move partially or fully to online resources. Some smaller newspapers can not afford to do this, so they will continue printing out newspapers until they eventually loose so many readers to the internet that they will go out of business.

Good comparison of newspapers to radio, but you write as if newspapers haven't yet started putting their stories online. They have. So this one seems off point.

...until they eventually lose (not "loose") so many readers...
