Though I personally prefer electronic mass media as the main source of all info I need, I don't think printed media will ever disappear. In different countries people's attitudes to these kinds of media differ, because not everyone is able to use computers and has the Internet. And, of course, for these people it isn't out of question that newspapers stop existing. At the same time young people are too busy to have time for buying newspapers or magazines and then reading them. It's much more convenient to find the news on-line.
