Adam Tinworth … 🔗 Journalism isn’t dying

Less than a week after massive layoffs at the Washington Post which have sent shockwaves through the media world, this seems like a strange thing to say, but journalism is not dying. In fact, it’s in no danger of dying. It’s being reborn all around us, right now.

Me back in 2018 : 🖇️ Musicians Only Made 12% of the Music Industry’s Revenue

I think it’s a related argument - add in the argument about ‘saving the planet - we are killing it’. Yes we are - but that os not the problem.

In all three cases we are looking at the wrong thing.

It was the music industry that was dying - not music - as that headline in 2018 highlights and as we see today. Not saying it isn’t hard. It is - but it is very much around.

As for Climate Change - sure - it might wipe out humanity - but the planet will be just fine. Its a bugger what we are doing to it - but in all honesty if we werent around - the planet would recover.

So too journalism.
