The UK and Iceland are shown for 2019 newspaper extinction, behind USA in 2017.

This reminded me of an ad in the print Guardian on Monday so I had another look. Newsworks is the new name for the Newspaper Marketing Agency just as newsbrands is the new name for newspapers.

more explanation in this set of links to reports. The page ad in the Gujardian has a photo of a dog carrying a tablet with logos that look a lot like existing newspaper titles.

So the UK has got the message and is a few years ahead of the Ross Dawson schedule.
