Maybe there will be a decrease in newspapers than now in 30 years. vs There will may be a decrease in newspapers than now in 30 years.

Both of these phrases are incorrect. The correct structure should be, 'There may be a decrease in newspapers in 30 years.' The word 'may' should come before the verb 'be' to indicate possibility. Additionally, 'than now' is not necessary in this context.
