Well, we can at least have solace in the fact that these are the exact same outlets that are suffering financial losses since at least 10 years. They are dying a slow death and this is their final straw -- not that it will do them any good, to the contrary. Good riddance!

Is there any efficient alternative to big newspapers with decades long editorial reputation?
I'm not pitying the useless money grab ad-infested publications, but they were the ones that actually spent on good journalism.
Though it would be good to see a lot more numbers/data about this. Also probably with globalisation the market simply consolidates. There's no need for more than a handful big "trust anchors" for news. The local news problem is tougher to crack though :/
