The information junkie will always go online

Mark Glaser throws a shot across the bows of some of the new media commentators who forecast the death of print and the move to online.

He writes at Media shift that

most of the public discourse tends to be dominated by information junkies and there is little doubt that if you're an information junkie, the web is the way to go. But the reality is that info-junkies are only a small tribe. They consume the news at a prodigious rate and the web is the fastest way to satisfy their appetite. Thus, they're also the most vocal tribe -- so it's easy to get the impression that theirs is the most widely held conclusion. But if you listen to some of the discourse, it soon becomes apparent that it's only one way to look at it.
