Perhaps. Last time I checked, the Sun in Britain was hunky dory. Take a trip down to your local grocery store (not Walmart or Costco). I'd bet you'd see people buying tabloids and no one buying a newspaper.

There's a reason why journalism schools are seeing a huge increase in the number of journalism majors focusing on electronic communication.

Printed newspaper as a virtual whole, is going the way of the pony express. I'd bet however, that niche and financial newspapers may survive significantly longer though. But papers like the Chicago Tribune, LA Times/Post, and NYT are inevitably doomed.
