Ebooks will not be the only thing that leads to the survival of newspapers and magazines, the thing that will enable them to survive is taking advantage of all their options from their existing paper sales, ebook versions and charging for or earning money from their online editions.
You see similar things with television production where things like co-production deals with foreign companies, dvd sales etc. all lead to ratings not being the only deciding factor in a show's viability and has lead to some coming back from the dead after being cancelled too.
Getting back to the ebook point, until we at least get colour devices and ideally larger screens too, newspapers and especially magazines won't be as good on an ebook as novels are.
