They can all still go and investigate all these things, and simply report it in a different format - the internet. If they don't have enough people visiting to cover their expenses, then people just don't care about what they're reporting and they should die out.
Reporting on the internet will actually yield them much lower costs then what they have and are doing now for offices, and printing, etc.

And a lot less profit, that pays for journalists to delve into stories and root out the scandals. Internet advertising will never replace the spending on print advertising. And its that money that mallows you to know those scandals.
Too many think the Internet should be free for it to work. Nothing in life is free and you always get what you pay for.
