Can traditional journalism survive in a media environment in which consumption happens mostly on social media?

In today's society, most of us definitely consume news troughout social media.
Contrasting to traditional journalism like newspaper or television, social media offers the reader to really response to the consumed media throughout a comment section.
Whereas the traditional journalism functions more as a truly informative media, social media in contrast has more of an exchanging function and is more convenient and fast to use because of the internet.

I believe that traditional media will last at least as long as the generation who has not grown up with smartphones and social media does, but the generations growing up with it are more likely to just use what they are used to. Nevertheless, for me the feeling of a real newspaper in the morning is still the best, though most of the times I will research interesting articles in the Internet at the same time.
