Will the Print Industry Survive?

Many people feel that with the internet, the print industry will disappear. While it may narrow it a bit, I don't think it will ever fail. Some people will only read the newspaper in the internet (go green). However, there are still billions of people who can't stand or do not know how to use the internet. These people will always read the paper in print. Even out of those who read the paper online, many will buy the printed paper in the morning for their way to work and than just update themselves throughout the day with the internet. Not only will newspapers survive, but so will magazines. Finding a magazine online is popular, but more people still read them in print. However, demassification is becoming more and more popular among media sources. They limit their audiences and try to target one group in particular. This helps grasp the attention of those audiences, but turns away everyone else. This won't cause the industries to fall apart, but it will limit them drastically.
