I don't think blogs could replace the print. Just take this survey for instance, since the advent of internet in 1990's to till day, how many e-books are there on the net ? Or how many e-papers are freely available ? Have books and papers disappeared.
One cannot expect to gather information and produced it in any format for free, even if there is layoff or war, you cannot expect the security personnel at the company to write blogs on them or give it for free when layoff targets him.

The information produced to a common man is different from web and newspaper (ranging from displaying them and the required information)
