Did you actually take in that The Independent is now digital only? Most young people, especially, nowadays get their news from the Internet rather than from printed newspapers, and as the younger generation get older, I cannot see them changing their habits.

The same problem looms large over broadcast channels.

If you are so sure that printed newspapers will survive the steady erosion of their readers and broadcast channels will survive the same erosion of their viewers, I am sure you will know how they are going to pull this off. If you don't, how can you be so sure that nothing will change?
