I can also see this happening, smaller newspapers like the Inter Lake do gain from cutting printing and as a business choice that seems to be the way to go, a website is much cheaper than a paper, yet for the larger ones with a greater number of people subscribed and paying for them will probably not, just because papers like the Wall Street Journal have a large number of funds coming in from advertising.
