I'm the author of that bloggasm article and I can say that I intend on leaving newspaper journalism. Though working for a newspaper is interesting, I love the long-form feature length articles commonly written in magazines (e.g. The New Yorker). I think that many of these journalists view newspapers as a starting point and eventually want to go into radio, magazine, television, blogs, etc... though I have no hard data to back that up, just my experience writing for my blog and reading other media publications obsessively.
