Klerksdorp Midweek, Klerksdorp - Daar is ’n Engelse uitdrukking wat sê jy soek nie moeilikheid met ouens wat ink by die vat koop nie. Dit was dalk waar toe gedrukte koerante oor nuusverspreiding koning gekraai het. Noudat bandwydte egter hierdie vate vol ink vervang het, wonder mens of daar nog ’n toekoms is vir joernaliste in die tradisionele sin van die woord? Hierdie kwessie is verder beklemtoon toe Media24 onlangs aangekondig het dat hulle Rapport se gedrukte weergawe gaan staak, en Beeld en City Press gaan toemaak, terwyl die digitale weergawes van Volksblad en Die Burger Oos-Kaap ook nie meer sal bestaan nie. 
Die Daily Sun, City Press en Rapport sal voortaan net digitale publikasies wees.
