Brutal
So it is not just the case that the business of news is challenged, or that people are sceptical of news media and generally hold journalism in low regard—though both of these things are true. It is that on almost every measurable indicator, the social contract between much of the public and the news, as traditionally conceived, reported and distributed, is coming apart. And while this is a full-blown crisis for journalism and the news media, the public at large seems sanguine about the whole situation. The contract isn’t coming apart because people can’t access journalism, but because they increasingly don’t. People still want reliable, relevant information from sources independent of those in power in business and government. In fact, mountains of research suggest that people appreciate the ideal aspirations of journalism, and want news that helps them understand the world, offers a range of perspectives and maintains independence from those it covers. The contract is coming apart because much of the public does not believe actually existing journalism offers this.
