It's no different from the availability of desktop publishing software
lowering the barrier for entry when producing printed material, or digital
video tools (e.g. Macs and Final Cut Pro) becoming more accessible and
widespread, making film production easier.
Neither of these led to the downfall of their respective industries
(publishing and film), but they certainly had an impact.
Of course, this time round it's the careers of journalists which are
threatened so you're less likely to read positive reports about it in the
media ;)
