Yep. Up until the early 2000s, I’d say, newspapers were a vital source of info. But around 05-06 small town papers across the country closed over loss of revenue and readership. There were murmurs of loss then, but people found other info sources online. Now, it’s about to take out the giants of news print and we’re supposed to worry… save the dinosaurs.
And quality journalism is currently a thing of the past too. Today news is more commentary and opinion than actual reporting of facts. The age of great news, like the Walter Concrite era of ‘how it was today’ or investigative reporting like Watergate are long gone. Now we get the equivalent of ‘I heard it through the grapevine’ coverage. Or you get to delve into the brilliance of people like Kayleigh McEnany expounding there ideals, yuck.
And with the age of AI on our doorstep, I don’t think print media will make a comeback OR be reimbursed by social media giants for their decades of lost revenues. Time to evolve, change is the only constant.
