Could Press Gazette survive online?

Guy Clapperton blogs about the imminent(?) demise of Press Gazette.

Given the amount of time PROs and journos spend in front of a computer could the magazine work as a purely online publication?

Antony Mayfield posted a while back about the magazine's strong online offering... could this be the solution?

I hope so because Press Gazette was always a good read when I found a newsagents stocking it, plus it had excellent content from its news feeds.

I'd like to think so. Since I read most publications online anyway, it would suit me fine. It's something I've been involved in discussions about on other failing publications and the problem seems to be that without display revenue (or a much lower display revenue) then staff costs become a massive liability. The cover price is a moot point since that basically covers print and distribution.
