Here's the thing. It's a bit like herd immunity. It almost doesn't matter if you in particular read the journalism or not. It matters if nobody reads it. (Mostly for the social effects, but partly because then the industry can't afford to do real journalism for anybody).
At that point things start to fall apart; that's when ill-informed power-brokers put dangerous options like Brexit in front of even-less-informed voters.
Not reading a newspaper may not have impacted your life much. Living in a world where vastly fewer people are reading them already is.
