Wrote this a little while back. Most news orgs -- especially local -- are being set up to fail in this environment.

Whilst BigTech is busy eating News institutions at the top, PE firms are busy devouring the bottom.

a little marketing tip: summarize both the rationale and the conclusion. it’s tempting to think just one or the other is enough to entice the potential visitor, but no, it’s much easier to dismiss a link if it comes off as fantastic, implausible, or unsupported, which is more likely when you leave out one or the other. it’s more enticing to get an obvious full bite rather than an elusive nibble.
