All the emerging and traditional media platforms will always co-exist. It's an issue of complimentarity from a news-source perspective.

Well ... they same thing was said about newspapers when radio gained popularity and again later when TV gained popularity.
Yet somehow print media is still with us some 60+ years after its death was predicted ...

Hi All, I have finally realised that the print media is dead for all intent but the distribution of political propaganda here is my proof; 5 years ago I could place an advert in the classified section of the Nation or Standard newspapers and receive over 500 responses, 2 years ago I would place a one eighth page full colour advert only to receive 150 responses, last week a placed a quarter page advert in the Nation and only received 5 responses. Interestingly, I placed a link on facebook and my website received over 700 hits within 4 hours, that's the final straw I will no longer spend a penny on print advertising and fully embrace online.
