I think it doesn't take much of a futurist to predict that at some point, decades from now, no magazine or newspaper will be "printed" in the traditional sense. They will continue to be "printed" but the definition of what print will be enlarged to include the electronic versions. What Sulzberger and others obviously mean is that a paper edition will cease, and Mobile Readers have been making those predictions for longer than I have been a MR member.
I know that I plan to help the New York Times along that path in the near future. I've been a print subscriber for decades but that will end shortly after I buy my Sony 950 and verify that the electronic version is truly a duplicate of the print version and that it really is readable on the 950. I've been wanting to make the switch for some time, but haven't been satisfied with the samples I've tried on my 505 or on Kindles.
