A comment on Editorial board of Index and more than 70 staff members resign. Parent comment
If I can’t keep straight in my head which country is having its press shut down, we live in sad times.
In America, we don’t have press shut down, as much as it becomes “sponsored.” Someone decides to run it at a loss, or close to one.
Quality goes down, advertising goes up, and ideology seeps in.
Lots of “small town papers” are just brands managed by conglomerates.
