We still get the Philadelphia Inquirer and the NY Times delivered every day and I look through them almost every day...sometimes more of a skim, other times a more indepth experience. But I also glance at online news a couple times a day...I have my preferences set for which sources come up on my google news page, then my Verizon home page starts out with their news although it's no where near as good as my setup on google...and from google I'll jump to whatever news source happens to catch my interest with a report or story.
For me, I don't see online news ever completely taking over my news reading...the comment above about something being different about reading a screen vs a paper is true for me. I don't know if there is something organic about reading a paper, book, magazine, all of which I still do quite often, and these formats give me something that's missing with just reading a screen. One of the guys I work with keep blabbing about how great his Kindle thing is...but the idea of reading all that stuff on yet another screen just does not appeal to me at all.
