[QUOTE="TwoForFlinching, post: 3426911, member: 24500"] This right here. Print media is dead. It has been dying for a long time, and it will continue to die further in the communities where corporations are buying up papers. They lay off to temporarily pad the bottom line. They bring in news off the wire to fill the gaps. As local news disappears, subscribers dwindle, and before too long, several papers will merge into one, they'll pad the bottom line with even more layoffs, the cycle will continue. I almost feel bad for them, but they had every opportunity to embrace the digital world, but got caught thinking they were invincible because "it's always been this way." TV is going through the same thing. Station in SWOK merged, laid off half the staffs, and half the time our meteorologist is forecasting from a different state. 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. [/QUOTE]
