Change never stops, but we will always need journalism #34

Change never stops, but we will always need journalism

Peter Preston, when editor of the Guardian, watches an archive copy of the paper come off an ancient press.

Fifteen years ago, Britain went through around 15m newspapers every day. Now it’s 6m and falling. Meanwhile digital consumption/addiction accelerates away and social media dominate reading time and attention. The article predominantly talks about Paul Preston becoming a journalist.

-only about 10% of news on the net comes with a price tag

-6m and falling every day (newspaper circulation)

I believe that the decline in newspapers is partly due to the rise of new and digital media and although Herman and McChesney suggested that traditional mass media would not be relinquished so easily. This can partly be true as print newspapers are still surviving but steadily declining because of the lack of advertisement and the rise of new and digital media
