Yes very much so:
Newspapers and other sources of information ARE having a horrible time and it going to get worse.
BUT the solution to the revenue problem - aka advertising - is now a problem in its own right and driving the creation of content to keep itself going.
All of our major information problems trace back to 3 related things.
1) the makeup of our wetware
2) advertising as a way to subsidize/pay for content
3) the vicious cycle of increasingly louder techniques to grab audience attention, ranging from “sex sells”, partisan news, product placements, and invasive online ads.
