Newspapers like T.V. and Radio are in bidness to do one thing, Make money.
They all can say it is for the public good or other such nonsense. That would be crappola. They are there to make a profit.
They do such by selling Adds.
These old info sources are losing revenue to online everything.
They have not figured out how to stop the bleeding and it would not be by charging customers to read their crude. Like the N.Y. Times has been trying. Try making the paper or network worth paying attention to.
Even selling ads is a problem. The old model of building brand loyalty, etc. is passé. Now it’s either cheap crap from Walmart or some hipster cache that’s important, and that is very ephemeral.
Bump. My thoughts exactly.
