- jeffbee 5y agoMy local newspaper is a notoriously worthless rag that has probably done more to harm humanity than to benefit it, including starting a major war.
- trulyme 5y agoYour local newspaper has started a major war?
- jeffbee 5y agoYes. https://history.state.gov/milestones/1866-1898/yellow-journalism https://history.state.gov/milestones/1866-1898/yellow-journa...
- yesbabyyes 5y agoI was about to say you must be from New York, but I was rather thinking about NYTimes, Judith Miller and the US War on Iraq. Plus ça change...
- trulyme 5y agoIncredible, I'm glad I asked - TIL. Thank you!
- tombert 5y agoI think local papers give lots of value, but at the same time if I am a for-profit business, my goal isn't to help out the local newspaper, it's to make (and possibly save) as much money as possible. I don't know the success numbers of job classified ads, but I doubt it comes anywhere near the success numbers of places like Indeed or StackOverflow Jobs or Dice, all of which charge substantially less money and reach a larger audience.
- tqi 5y agoPeople have a really rosy memory of local newspapers, but I grew up in a small midwest town with an "award winning" local newspaper in pre internet days, and I remember it mostly consisting of poorly written drivel and AP wire articles.
- joedevon 5y agoI'm sure it was a mixed bag but Corporate Media did not break the Epstein story. They famously avoided it, @see Amy Robach and ABC News leak. The Miami Herald, a local paper, broke the story thanks to a great journalist there. IMO you are really discounting just how massive the importance of local journalism has historically been. PE firms are now buying up and destroying these once great outlets, including the Miami Herald.
- bduerst 5y agoI don't think the local newspaper in their community would have broken the Epstein news story either. The Miami Herald is one of the largest in Florida, and where many of Epstein's crimes took place.
