RSS Readers - the new editors?

I don’t read a newspaper on a regular basis. I usually get one at the weekend, but vary which one from week to week. There was a time when I believed that newsprint would always be around, even in the face of competition from the web, because people need someone – journalists and editors – to aggregate and make sense of the news for them. I’ve changed my mind. The bloggosphere makes sense of the news for me now, and my RSS reader aggregates it. Print will survive I’m sure, but it will retract further into niche areas – hence the overloaded magazine shelves in newsagents – but the days of the daily paper must be numbered, surely?
