INMA today released to members the May edition of Ideas Magazine, featuring a shocking series of observations and predictions from Centro CEO Shawn Riegsecker.

In a report titled “2017 A.D.: What media shifts in the next five years mean for newspapers,” Riegsecker isn’t timid:

“By 2017, there will be no printed metro newspapers, no local network TV stations, and few printed magazines. Weekly newspapers and video will be thriving. Tablets will be common and cheap. WiFi and WiMax will be everywhere. What do these and other predictions mean for the newspaper industry?”

Yeah, that got our attention, too.
