Off-topic question: shouldn't this be 'Why is traditional TV in trouble'? I see that there is no question mark at the end of the title too; is that why 'is' is after the subject?
- Analemma_ 8y agoIt's phrased as a statement, with the usual headline-speak of dropping articles: "[This is] Why Traditional TV is in trouble". Why they chose that over an interrogative form ("Why is traditional TV in trouble?"), I don't know. Maybe the NYT has a style manual that prefers the first formation.
- lainga 8y agoI have noticed US media convention, both print and web, is to prefer statements: "Why <x>", "How <y>", and "<z> did <z'>, and it's <z''>"; the last one even conveniently tells you how you're supposed to feel about the article. I imagine it conveys more authority than questions do.
