I work in an organization which has done away with the whole 'newspaper/magazine' culture altogether- we write on the web and we have our 'specialized' beats to cover. I think the competition would be in lateral expansion and not vertical. Superstructures will cease to exist. With increasing penetration of the Internet reporters will be able to sit in the farthest corners of the planet or in the comfort of their living rooms filing their stories. It is a cheaper option for newspaper or lets say media companies to hire remote resources and letting them work from home. That way even the remotest place/situation will get coverage- first hand coverage that too. Also reporters would be handling their own specialized verticals in a news organization. That way there will be lesser competition among employees and there'd be more to share- a peaceful atmosphere would prevail. The only drawback- monitoring across continents and timezones...
