Over the last 20 years, we’ve lost two-thirds of our professional journalists. A third of all newspapers have shut down. Instead, people get their news from Tik-Tok, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and bloggers. The world has changed.
Newspaper revenues are a fraction of what they once were. All that ad revenue has gone to Google and the other Internet mega platforms.
