How would you feel if your Newspaper(local) shut down?

Many viewers say that it has no effect on themselves because they find the news everywhere now a days. A recent Poll has been brought to the attention of many of those who still buy a newspaper.
"With media coverage of newspaper company bankruptcy filings, threats to close papers, actual shut downs and continuing job cuts, the public is aware of the financial problems. More than half (53%) say they have heard “a lot” about the problems facing newspapers, while 31% say they have heard “a little.” Only 15% say they have heard nothing at all." Just a part of an article written by The Pew Research Center for the Local People and Press. 66% say their news is from the tv, 41% newspaper, 34% Radio, 31% Internet, online newspapers and online tv have less than 15%. What does that tell you? If our Newspaper shuts down, many local posts will just be found on the internet. And as varied as the internet is, how many viewers would really go on the internet just for the newspaper?
