It's not dead but the Internet has created a clickbait culture.
The basic problem is that people are reluctant to pay for a news service, when so much is available for free. That means news sites are relying on advertising revenue, which is dependent on getting people to click on a headline.
The cheapness of news on the Internet reduces the likelihood of it being about high-quality journalism.
