Can the social media ever be able to overthrow the newspaper and the electronic media?

What are the chances of something like this actually happening?

the more questions ask demands faster and correct answers.so the electronic media will out pace all others.

Yes, it's already happening. For example a lot of Arabs post stuff about Gaza, whereas a lot of mainstream media used to ignore it, and still half-ignores it.

I think Social media, newspapers and the electronic media- all 3 of them should work together, not against each other. Each of them has its own audience. They are intended to carry a news to such sectors where others can't. So I don't think they would overpower each other but yeah, social media and electronic media just slightly tend to travel faster.
