The former mainstream media continues to constrict.
"Still more local journalists are losing their jobs.
The Sacramento Bee is laying off Bill Bradley, sports editor for the more than 200,000-circulation newspaper — and a 26-year journalist.
The Bee announced Friday it will eliminate 29 more jobs this month through voluntary buyouts or layoffs, blaming an ongoing slump in advertising revenue.
The latest round of cuts includes five more from the newsroom, including Bradley, who was recruited nearly six years ago from The Tennessean by then-editor Rick Rodriguez."
While Fox News flourishes, Drudge is a prime source, people read and quote logs and newsletters, the "dead tree" industry is dying like the trees used to print propaganda and half stories.
I write a weekly column for the Beverly Hills Courier (yes, even in liberal town, a conservative voice is heard. The Courier has great circulation for their printed edition. But the online edition gets 2,000,000 hits per month--now that is circulation.
Papers like the Courier, the Simi Valley Acorn and other small, local newspapers are growing--while the former mainstream papers like the Bee (any variety) is shedding its employees.
Today the Washington Post noted that Howard Kurttz, a 29 year employee, has left to work for the Daily Beast, an online newsletter. Steve Greenhut, one of the best journalists for the Orange County Register now runs Cal Watchdog, an online investigative newsletter. Dan Weintraub of the best political reporters in the State, for the Sac Bee,now runs HealthyCal, an online newsletter with great articles.
The world is changing, we no longer use buggy whips and newspapers are slowly turning into localized gathers of news or dying.
