There is a long history of newspapers being doomed. They were doomed by radio. They were doomed by television. They were probably doomed by the telegraph way back when.

I think newspapers will survive in some form or another.

The newspaper is dying. I'm not sure there will be newspapers and its one business I'd never be in.

I hardly ever watch the news... I love reading newspapers, but I know they're dying out.

I think we'll always have newspapers, but they'll lose influence.

American newspapers are dying mostly because they were so dull for so long, a whole generation gave up on them.

The reason we have not gone to newspapers is because its a slow growth industry and I think they are dying. I'm not sure there will be newspapers in 10 years. I read newspapers every day. I even read Murdoch's Wall Street Journal.

You know what they say? They say, 'The print media is dying' - who says that? Well, the media.

In the end, does it really matter if newspapers physically disappear? Probably not: the world is always changing. But does it matter if organisations independent enough and rich enough to employ journalists to do their job disappear? Yes, that matters hugely; it affects the whole of life and society.

I think there'd be huge losses if there weren't newspapers. I know everything's shifting to the Internet and some people would say, 'News is news, what you're talking about is a change of consumption, not the product that's out there.' But I think there is a change.
