I have no idea. I just shared the info.So what happened? Not towing the woke line, or something else?
I’m gonna go with a lack of funding for the position. Everyone knows that traditional newspapers are on borrowed time, even with e-readership. There are simply too many competitors for ad revenues in today’s many formats. It used to just be print, tv and radio, but those days are long gone.
Well, of course it is. Have you ever tried to feed a live tree through a press?Print media is dead.
The sad thing is that lots of radio stations tried embracing streaming back in the mid to late '90s. I used to listen to KVOO's stream from my office in Norman, and occasionally to a stream from a station in Chicago. What killed them was the royalty system; the gov't changed it, and almost overnight it went from a flourishing ecosystem to a virtual desert because the royalties structure became far too expensive for the online side of the house, and the more popular you became, the worse it got. (It has been too long, and I've forgotten a lot of the details, but they suddenly went from a royalty system with costs capped by the number of people in their broadcast area to an almost unlimited audience...)Most radio companies (mom & pop, rural, OKC and Tulsa corporate outfits) now employ virtually all part time employees now even though, oddly enough, radio has outsold tv for the last few years being the better media outlet. Radio companies that embraced streaming are doing very well in the face of a million streaming apps, those who didn't are suckling the dead pig hustling $6 commercials. I feel bad for them.
