I‘d love to see that graph in absolute numbers

🤔 And I just read about this on Bluesky, where 18 percent of the sports discourse concerns the Mets.

A huge problem in America is tgat so many of our journalists and policymakers now come from Ivy or near-Ivy elite backgrounds and live in elite enclaves. That fosters a lot of “empathy” for the malefactors of wealth.

What percent live in Manhattan?

I love how they have real world experience- ya know, from a condo in Tribeca

smartphones and the internet, man. they might have destroyed journalism, driven people insane by the tens of millions, fueled a rise in global fascism, and literally touched off genocides, but at least they seem to have caused a global collapse in relationship formation too

think of all the things you can't do without a smartphone though. it was impossible to buy goods and services, or drive anywhere. couldn't be done

I dunno also feels like the natural conclusion of centralizing all of advertising into a online duopoly while also converting the entire economy to consumerism and killing the regulatory state.

have you considered how not-flappy birds were before the smartphone ?

We'd all just walk out the door in the morning, not knowing where we were going or how to get there. Crazy times!

the worst part was you had to get an actual paper ticket to a baseball game that you could keep as a souvenir. now thankfully everyone is required to carry an oversized calculator to get in

but for a brief beautiful moment, all the cops could play candy crush on the job all day

I don’t think that what happened to papers like the Baltimore Sun had anything to do with smartphones though

Or the Internet

Surely this doesn’t include the fine people at TRONC

I'm one of the casualties. Left my then mid-circulation daily, which was owned by E.W. Scripps after I watched Rich Boehne announce the shuttering of the Rocky Mountain News live from our newsroom. If anything was a harbinger of things to come, was the death of small town newspapers. 😔

The denominator is always important!

it turns out newsprint paper was not the best vector for relaying information in a timely manner

Ответ для ryan cooper

The loss of standardized information production is insane. It’s like if all the architects and engineers and tradespeople went away but we still kept building complex buildings as if that didn’t matter.

I am sure a lot think they are not the elite of the survivors, when most (not all) are just the ones that knuckled under and complied the most.

A byproduct of the Times being basically the last newspaper around

The majority of newspaper writers in America should not be given the dignity of being called journalists.

I assume it's not because there are more journalists in NYC now, just fewer across the country.

In 2005, I worked in newsrooms in Ithaca, N.Y. and Hackensack, N.J. Neither of the jobs I had exist anymore.

When everyone else lost their job, yeah

The day is not far off when every American broadsheet decides to write "Eyy! I'm Typesettin' Here!" on the cover

[chuckling nervously from richmond] yeah... yeah...

This is one where it might also be useful to see absolutely numbers. It is sadly likely that a lot of this is due to a drop in newspaper staffing elsewhere.
