I think the owners and founders of *most* media companies haven't been able to crack the puzzle that is the business model they ought to go with when running a news organisation. Relying on ad revenue evidently hasn't worked out, and most people don't want to pay for the news.

I'm terrified. This is the only industry I've ever really worked in. But as time goes by and the internet continues to grow (and inevitably divide us), I can't help but feel like this... exodus(?) of journalists, mainstream and independent, is going to go on and on and on.

At least 8,000 journalism jobs were cuts in UK and North America in 2023. We've already seen as much as 3,000 jobs in the media industry disappear so far this year (again, we're only two months in.)

It's been announced that VICE Media is probably going to shut down, leaving "several hundred" without jobs in a matter of days.
I myself was laid off from my previous news company back in October last year before they inevitably ended editorial operations a month later.

A few days ago, I posted a thread on twitter outlining the media layoffs we've seen so far in 2024 (and we're only two months in). That list had 22 companies in it. Today it turned into 23.
