They want to easily access related articles in one click. Of course, books/magazines/newspapers/etc. are a little more portable, but mobile electronic devices are quickly solving that problem as well. Things like iPhones and Kindles create a place to easily browse through pages and pages of news or literature in one device.
These things are greener and because of the internet and wi-fi, you can access information so much faster at any time, anywhere, and most times, it's virtually free.
Unfortunately, print media is in a downward spiral, and unless we can come up with a new way to present hard copies of all this information, I don't see it ever making a come back.

M$A major obstacle that I face is an advertising staff that does not know how to sell online advertisements; so, they don't. Second to that is training the reporters and photographers to think beyond the limited news-hole that exists in newsprint. My news-hole is infinite online. Right now it is almost impossible for me to get any audio or video from interviews and the print photographers seldom look beyond one main image to accompany a story.
I do still read the print editions, as well as online, of Wired, American Photo and Esquire. I also read USA Today because I prefer the print layout of that paper. Otherwise I get my news from cnn on twitter and the AP application on my iPhone.
Personal experience. Also, this blog is a fantastic read: http://recoveringjournalist.typepad.com/recovering_journalist/

If you're going to continue in journalism post graduation, you should seriously consider brushing up on your computer skills. I'm telling you, new media is on the rise and professional news corporations are training their reporters to edit videos! I'm glad that you still support print media though :-)
I couldn't agree more. Being the online editor has forced me to learn Final Cut, Adobe everything, Flash, Joomla, PHP, CSS and those are just the start.

M$As far as what newspapers need to do to survive? Offer a digital subscription. I think newspapers will survive for the next 10 - 15 years based on the amount of people who read them who are elderly or otherwise don't have internet access, but they're going to die off completely if they don't have all of the content they do now (and more) offered for free at the same time as their print editions very soon.

Just last quarter, newspapers in the U.S. suffered an over 18% decline in revenue (source #1). It's only going to go downhill from there for what is today's media dinosaur.
That said, I'm not exactly mourning the passing of print media. It's obsolete, and when it comes to how information is disseminated, there is no good reason to cling to tradition. Let information be spread as quickly as people can absorb it.
