@darnell brought attention to a Politico piece re: the state of American journalism. Here’s another: https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/25/media/news-industry-future/index.html
Jay Rosen (professor of journalism at NYU) is quoted in the piece and has long been someone worth following regarding what good journalism looks like, the current travails of news as a business, and the consequences for democracy when journalism is done poorly or not at all.
