his seven-page piece on the state of newspaper journalism in the New Yorker is a must read. There isn’t a thought out of place or a misdrawn conclusion. There’s no need for me to comment on it. It stands on its own
Here though is a taster
Three centuries after the appearance of Franklin’s Courant, it no longer requires a dystopic imagination to wonder who will have the dubious distinction of publishing America’s last genuine newspaper. Few believe that newspapers in their current printed form will survive. Newspaper companies are losing advertisers, readers, market value, and, in some cases, their sense of mission at a pace that would have been barely imaginable just four years ago
Well worth a read
