Myths about the future of journalism
This five-point list by The Washington Post is an excellent wrap of the problems journalism is facing or is not facing.
1. The traditional news media are losing their audience.
2. Online news will be fine as soon as the advertising revenue catches up.
3. Content will always be king.
4. Newspapers around the world are on the decline.
5. The solution is to focus on local news.
I certainly have seen No.4 in my travels around developing countries. It’s exciting to see whole new sections of society gain access to media as education becomes more accessible and literary rates rise.
