Tablets won't save the newspapers as such but they will let them survive in the form of news web sites with paid-for premium content. What's the point of sticking to a newspaper format (i.e. dailies, weeklies etc) if you can update every single second? A tablet is essentially a web browsing device, and the best format for the web is the web site. There's no point trying to cram a daily broadsheet into a web-capable ereader.
