"relentless economic pressures are pushing people away from socially important careers." I think the problem is that there is a loss of faith and trust in journalism, both as a vocation, and as a service to society. The reasoning is that if people trusted journalists more, trusted their reporting, then they would want to seek out that reporting. People are turning away from the journalists, which is leading to reduced budgets, layoffs, etc. It's all just a part of a larger systemic problem: How to encourage people to want to read the news again.
