In many ways the "newspaper" is its own ecosystem. Editors/reporters, printers/delivery, academia,pollsters, others rely on this ecosystem to earn and prosper.

In many ways the "newspaper" is its own ecosystem. Editors/reporters, printers/delivery, academia,pollsters, others rely on this ecosystem to earn and prosper. Except readers. This ecosystem is morphing under their feet. But the large number of humans living off this ecosystem means it just won't go away quickly. Holding on to the fifth estate oversight gives newspaper people strength. For the sake of all earning a living, I hope mid career changes are not forced on those that entered their ecosystem.
