The struggling US media industry is facing its worst year for job layoffs in a decade as news organizations continue to cut staff and close shop, according to a new survey.

The consultancy Challenger Gray & Christmas reported this week that media companies, which include movies, television, publishing, music, and broadcast and print news, announced plans to cut 15,474 jobs so far this year, of which 11,878 of which were from news organizations.

That is nearly three times more than the 4,062 cuts announced in the media sector in 2017 and the highest total since the economic crisis in 2009.

"Members of the media, especially journalists, have had a tough few years," said Andrew Challenger, vice president of the Chicago-based firm.

"Many jobs were already in jeopardy due to a business model that tried to meet consumer demand for free news with ad revenue.

Seems like great news to me. The more the legacy media collapses, the better.

Maybe if you were journalists, not propagandists. . . .

Although it's been said many times, many ways before, please permit me to chip in, too...

LEARN TO CODE!!

How many people do you need to repeat the same propaganda? One spokesperson on the telescreen should suffice.

What would we all do, if expensive “talent” such as Rachel Maddow, Chris Cuomo, Don Lemon, Anderson Cooper, were no longer there to lecture us?????

It is not the whole US media sector, just the fake news part.

And I got the guy. He's tanned, rested and ready.

[antidemoncrat]

What would we do without CNN, MSNBC,CBS, NYT, etc? Oh, get real news instead of Democratic propaganda.

Good news and the rest of our economy is humming.

If Follywood went belly up, followed by ABCNNBCBS and then every liberal fish wrap closed their doors, America and the world would be a better place to live in.

The "media" with few exceptions is replete with chronis, unrelenting sociopathic LIARS...not journalists. I laugh at them being laid-off/fired. Hahahahahaha. No one in their right mind would hire these leftist losers...unless you hated your company and wanted it to fail.
