This brings a great impact and challenges on traditional media. The reality is that advertising revenues of newspapers and other traditional media are declining, but Internet and other new media are increasing. As a result, some of the negative views about the newspaper have flourished. I raised the question in this study: In the context of media convergence, can the Chinese newspaper industry survive and continue to develop? To achieve this goal, what the kind of development path the Chinese press should take?I described the background of media convergence in detail at first, and then select the South Daily Media Group which has a sound momentum of development, as representatives of the media analysis. Through sort out and explore its strategies and initiatives to come to the end of the paper: as long as the right strategies and tactics in the era of media convergence, the Chinese press can still maintain their-traditional advantages. Media convergence is not to eliminate traditional media, but to make the traditional media and new media complement with each other and development, to build a powerful, content rich, diverse media, all media.Specifically, the paper introduces the background of this study, the rise of new media, the decline of newspapers, and describes the research methods and general idea of the paper in the first chapter. In the second chapter, the paper explains the definition, the main types and stages of development of media convergence in detail; it also discusses the possibility and inevitability of its rise, especially on the impact of the traditional newspaper industry.
