Social media the new newspaper?

With this day and age technology is taking over the world, especially the internet.  With the internet being people's main source of news, are newspapers are being effected by this?

Sure, we still have those people who grew up reading the newspaper and will do it to this day. However, with the younger generation being raised in this era, an era that is so technology based it's only natural for them to get there news in a place that they're familiar with: the internet.

So, with media outlets knowing this they put their news up on the internet first. With the information already being on the web and people after reading it,  not as many people will be buying a newspaper that day/week because they already know whats going to be included in it.

Online news has become incredible popular and rightfully so considering that todays everything is centered around social media.

Facebook has millions upon millions using it. A lot of people tend to use it as their way of "getting news" as well as many other social media outlets. So, with all these new social media platforms taking in news, what is going to be left with newspapers?
