    Journalism of all types is dying out. It’s incompatible with the end goals of capitalism, and the more business types try to bleed profit from it, the weaker it gets and the more beleaguered journalists become trying to do jobs meant for 3-4 people each. The “content” quality only matters insomuch as it draws just enough eyes to sell ads.

    Been working in media for about a decade now - we need community driven journalism more than ever. We need to keep journalism out of the hands of those who only see it as a means to an end for wealth for themselves and parasitic shareholders.

    This is so sad. Clinging to dated income models, and not shifting the way stories are told, it all feels so cheapened. The right thing to do now is shut it down altogether.
