The Arizona Republic’s Rebekah Sanders was noting that Tribune newsrooms have lost 38 percent of their journalists since 2018. This caused a moment of self-awareness:
Chase Hunter B. ~ I know people don't generally like journalists, but what other industry could suffer job losses of this magnitude due to a corporate buyout and not get any attention or concern from the public?
Back up to the part about people not generally liking journalists, ask yourself why, and then ask yourself why the public isn’t concerned.
JWinABQ ~ So a bunch of lib arts girls are now out of jobs?
Shane Rider ~ Fantastic news.
Jurisprudent ~ When your profession is built 100% on trust, but you're trusted by just 29% of people, it's a death sentence. The refusal to self-reflect and continue using most stories (even straight-news stories) to 'persuade' has put them here. The market is speaking, they're not listening.
Spürdoyper ~ Left wing propaganda isn't a sustainable business model?!
the Captal de Buch ~ Journalists fouled their own bed, and now nobody trusts them. This is a self inflicted wound.
Dorf ~
Aldous Huxley's Ghost™ ~ Faced with job losses, coal miners were told to learn to code. Too bad there isn't another skill journalists could learn.
Adso of Melk ~ Which is ironic considering so many set out to eliminate the jobs of coal miners.
Alex ~ Learn to code.
Liberty Is 〽️etal ~ Learn to coal mine.
Norm Alkris ~ At least coal is useful though.
Where were all the stories on the jobs that were lost when President Biden pulled the plug on the Keystone XL pipeline?
Sapper ~ I guess propaganda has a shelf life.
Monika ~
that cactus girl ~ Have you tried NOT being an enemy to the people?
And then you get an actual journalist like Townhall’s Julio Rosas who goes to where the riots are happening and other “journalists” criticize him for showing what’s actually happening and making rioters look bad.
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
