But yeah even if people are losing their jobs because the Internet does their job better, faster, and free-er that's life. Their jobs got outsourced to everyone who does it for cheap online. Editorials are being replaced by blogs. News aggregators == win. Hell, when everyone views articles in the newspaper or on the news as overwhelmingly bias or flat out misinformation, no wonder people won't pay for it. And encyclopedia articles may be outdated by the time they are actually printed which is why wikipedia and other dynamic resources make them irrevelent.
