Maybe so... but as eNewspapers will undoubtedly take the market over, the paper versions of the NYT will probably be quick-printed versions of select articles/sections, as opposed to entire printed editions. In fact, I expect the future print version to either be a prepackaged abbreviated summary of the news (see web site for further details), or printed from a kiosk that allows you to select your articles or sections on-the-go... a sort of deli-newspaper, printed to order from a menu of choices.
At any rate, there will certainly be fewer printed editions than e-editions read on a daily basis. The article states that there are already about 40% more NYT e-news readers than NYT print readers today, and I don't see that trend reversing. In fact, more compelling e-content could speed up the process immeasurably.
