I have never read 1 paper daily. I spend more time looking at Candy Crush hint pages than reading a paper. If people still read newspapers there would still be jobs at them, and ads.

I disagree. People do read them. But as a means of advertising, they can't compete with other channels that are much better targeted. If you are a local business, do you spend on newspapers or Yelp? Probably Yelp first.
