Can traditional journalism survive in a media environment in which consumption happens mostly on social media?

The way people get access to news has changed significantly since the internet appoints our generation. A traditional printed newspaper during breakfast or during the commutation to and from work is rarely seen! Today every newspaper company has a printed paper as well as a digital paper.

Digital media has overtaken printed media. Every minute the news get an update! To get all global news is just a need for a smartphone! The latter has developed to the most fundamental object we can possess. Therefore the profession of a journalist has changed notably. The visual sides, such as the skills for photography or digital design, have become primary.

The development of the internet, for instance the fact that a mobile phone is a small and high-capacity laptop we perennially use, gives us a high flexibility in the way we consume media! The printed media has already loose a lot of reader, but has the chance to keep many with an expansion of their digital media. But at the end I see traditional journalism in terms of newspaper dying.

The way people get access to news has changed significantly since the (internet appoints our generation) [E,M? - ^ internet's emergence]. A traditional printed newspaper during breakfast or during the (commutation) [W - ^commute]* to and from work is rarely seen [foc - ^ these days]! Today every newspaper company has a printed paper as well as a digital paper.

Digital media has overtaken printed media. Every minute the news (get) [WF, Agr - ^ gets]  an update (!) [P, reg - ^ .] (To get all global news is just a need for a smartphone!) [E, M??, coh - ^ Having instant access to global news is one of many reasons why smartphones have become essential.  The latter (has) [agr - ^ have] developed (to) [prep - ^ into] (the most fundamental object) [E,Agr - some of the most fundamental objects] we can possess.

[* Commute means an act or an instance of traveling regularly to and from a place, especially between where you live and where you work. That's the noun your looking for.  The only two definitions of commutation that are neither obsolete nor specialist lingo from either electrical physics, linguistics, astronomy, rhetoric, or algebra, are 1) in finance,  a substitution of one form of payment or charge for another, and 2) in law, a change of a legal penalty or punishment to a lesser one.

† This sentence seems out of place. it should be at the beginning of the previous paragraph.]
