As I commented during a podcast interview today, what happens in media happens in education a decade or so later. And what's been happening in media over the last decade has been, as this article says, brutal. Magazines, both online and off, are folding. Newspaper chains are merging (but with no real hope of saving the store). In newspapers, they call the final edition a -30- edition. In the case of universities it's called a teach out. Get used to that phrase. We'll be seeing it a lot more.
