It's not 'dying' though. It's just that the evolution of the delivery systems are out of phase and there's a very real risk that current relatively transparent, contextual forms of news delivery will be superceded by more opaque, shallower pastiches of news.
I dunno. If I want quality news, I go to a newspaper site and read something in-depth. This is fine and functioning for national and international level news, if I refer to a couple of the big brand newspaper sites... but the situation is starker for those regional or local papers with a necessarily smaller budget.
Community and county level news is that which is most at risk and, I think, what your Senator up there is referring to.
The big media congloms can just buy up tomorrow's failing newspaper brands, and they likely will. They'll probably not bother with the less lucrative local stuff though.
