I don't think I would call the WSJ A-Hed's ..... news stories. They're somewhere between an article and an Op-Ed. They're unresearched, light-hearted fun topics.
Regardless, if indeed, model railroading and long-established news organizations are in decline …. it's the end of civilization, as far as I'm concerned.
Print vs digital? I have digital subscriptions to the two newspapers I read, because news is always happening. But, I still enjoy a magazine, catalog, etc in my hands on my easy chair.

I’m with Jim... they no longer deliver my local newspaper to the back woods where I live, so I get it electronically (without the shmutz on my fingers from the ink, I might add). I get OGR electronically. I bought a series of about 20 books I have always enjoyed electronically. And all these items are available on my iPad. There are certain things I still like hard copies... certain books, Lionel catalogs, hardware/software manuals...
That being said, I think trains will survive.
