Respectfully Darren, you’ve lost the plot. Journalism was never supposed to be a for-profit business, but a public good. And when it shifted to a purely capitalistic model, it compromised the very integrity it was built on.
Surely you’re not naive enough to understand why many see Jeff Bezos gutting the Post as politically motivated — especially in light of his relationship to this administration. He’s deeply compromised.
Beyond that, there’s no question that journalism has to adapt to the times — but that adaptation doesn’t have to come at the expense of thoughtful coverage. You meet the audience where they are, but you also give them what they don’t know they need.
They need storytelling, depth, context and insight. The audience still responds to those things and that will always be in demand.

Here's an example of the paradox of conservative culture. They dont want to maintain the past and help it live, and they dont understand it. They want it to be dead so it can be something to look at seperately, like a painting they pretend to appreciate
The Pentagon can’t pass an audit, but the IRS will track every $600 you get on Venmo. They can’t account for trillions for wars and genocide, but they’ll find every last penny when it comes to you.
