Rent-A-Cop posted:Journalism has always been dumb and I wouldn't be surprised if the first piece of journalism ever published was cuneiform clickbait and the second was "Is journalism dead?" I don't think anyone is saying journalism is dead. In fact, the title of the thread is "Is journalism hosed?" which it's looking more and more likely. Reason being that more and more journalism outlets are being purchased by conglomerates that are more interested in page views than anything else. Journalism will always exist, whether it be celebrity tabloids, sports columns, or anything that appeals to the national level. The bigger concern is the local press is going to get more and more marginalized with tighter budgets, and maybe in the future there's not gonna be a journalist sitting at a budget meeting at your state's capital when your state's congress decides to completely blow up your state's education budget.

I think there's ways ads can be done well. For example, my city's alt-newspaper The Stranger has been a free newspaper (albeit twice a week) and relies on it's ads. Their website is an easy read and features prominent ads next to the articles. I think it's the only time I've actually clicked on an ad and purchased something (it was tickets to see Aziz Ansari). Here's their main newspage: http://www.thestranger.com/slog
