Would Loss of Newspapers be Apocalyptic?

The WNYC program "On The Media," which is broadcast on NPR stations, recently addressed the issue of whether newspapers are worth saving.

Here's the audio, and a program summary:

Getting lost in the frantic search for a business model to save newspapers is a simple question: why? Would the death of the newspapers as we know them really be apocalyptic? Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Steve Coll and political blogger Matthew Yglesias take a step back to consider if newspapers are worth saving.

A transcript is also online at the On The Media site.
