pivot to video?

hoovybaby.bsky.social•440 days ago

what you need is a few more conservative columnists to challenge liberal pieties!!

ryanboyd.bsky.social•440 days ago

Somebody who's a principled conservative!

frailoldwoman.bsky.social•440 days ago

As a centrist, I don’t care which side of the aisle I see writing bylines in my favorite papers, as long as they supported the invasion of Iraq

zdroberts.bsky.social•440 days ago

But don’t worry, the paper is illustrated by provided photos and reporter cell pics. That’ll catch everyone’s eye!

raulpudd.bsky.social•440 days ago

Nobody can afford housing and food cost 4 times as much as it used too but yeah, I really want to read 15 stories about why we should let Peter Thiel run our universities.

Totally great paper from Southwest Washington.

alantennisplayer.bsky.social•440 days ago

I’m ok with that as long as they cover Brown University

ichibark.bsky.social•440 days ago

Aren’t all newspapers dying a little bit?

irontuna.bsky.social•440 days ago

Pivot to video!

backslashbackslash.bsky.social•440 days ago

Outsource your articles to the local RNC chapter

msavener.bsky.social•439 days ago

Don't forget the 10000 shitty op-ed columnists

daniskitchen.bsky.social•440 days ago

0 climate reporters

eliebenja.bsky.social•440 days ago

just add a paywall

oozingtulip.bsky.social•440 days ago

add a few dozen social media managers that'll fix it

kenlowery.bsky.social•440 days ago

Have you considered increasing your viewpoint diversity? This only ever means one thing btw

mkwilson27.bsky.social•440 days ago

They irony is, they’ve gotten much more engagement on the Ivy League nonsense than they would have on those other issues.
We get the media we deserve.

Reporting is just not what it used to be... sadly enough. no investigative reporters, and all the news is just what we are allowed to hear or read.

boubayaga.bsky.social•440 days ago

I'd go further and say that it's always been what we're allowed to hear and read, we just have better means of finding the primary source ourselves now

felipedlh.bsky.social•440 days ago

It’s not that there aren’t any, just no one wants to employ them

bodiva.bsky.social•440 days ago

There’s one investigative reporter left—Ronan Farrow.

imaganos.bsky.social•440 days ago

Yes!

mrlin13.bsky.social•440 days ago

Getting laid off and watching my paper go under motivated me to try something new. I know lots of former reporters, sadly.

lostinberkeley.bsky.social•440 days ago

Look, students demonstrating anything is much bigger news than what those students are demonstrating against and how their schools are being dismantled to appease reactionaries. Plus, where else are we going to employee talent-less nepo-babies but in the op-ed sections?

jeff-notheotherone.bsky.social•440 days ago

Yeah it’s not as if we can send em ALL out to heartland diners every single week… and then the diner places started to complain

mwhitler.bsky.social•440 days ago

0 K-12 education reporters?

pyrholidon.bsky.social•440 days ago

You mean the "Moms for Liberty paparazzi's"?

jginsburg.bsky.social•440 days ago

Have you tried writing think pieces about how poor people are ungrateful bastards for not giving you all the money?

emilyfrench.bsky.social•440 days ago

Manufacturing consent for corporate power.

This was my local paper yesterday.

energetic-nova.bsky.social•440 days ago

My local paper today.

I hope you think it’s spiffy and what you want to read about.

richardny.bsky.social•440 days ago

AI will be the reporters and writers at the current rate... Work goes to the low cost producers.

bodiva.bsky.social•440 days ago

AI needs others’ work product to filter. There has to be some original reporting or it’s all just stories from “back in the day.”

richardny.bsky.social•440 days ago

True. But there's a lot of historical/legacy material. As well as synthesis that can seem like fresh material.

lamentablyawake.bsky.social•440 days ago

An age of gentleman amateurs writing snarky gossip about each other.

bigmoneymanboy.bsky.social•440 days ago

Hire someone to exclusively cover Ed Sheeran NOW

otagian.bsky.social•440 days ago

Hire more candle reporters.

robertus.bsky.social•440 days ago

if not for our hard-working reporters, how else would I find out what Brown can do for me?

earlgreyparty.bsky.social•440 days ago

One of the most popular articles our local paper ran a few years back just compared milk prices across a bunch of local grocery stores. After the story was printed the more expensive places dropped their prices.

It's not hard to come up with compelling and effective local stories.
