Newspapers (actually in print on paper) are dying like flies. Sometimes it takes a little longer than with most and this time it's a New York icon that's slipping down the tubes.....
NY Daily News slashes newsroom staffing in half
NEW YORK — The New York tabloid Daily News cut half of its newsroom staff Monday including Jim Rich, the paper’s editor in chief.
The newspaper has been a key fixture in New York City for the last century. It has won 11 Pulitzer Prizes, including last year for its work with ProPublica on the abuse of eviction rules in New York City.
Actually since today's "newspapers" don't report actual news why would they need much of a staff? A couple of "creative writing grads" from Liberal U would do. But surely it won't be long before AI takes over. Just put in a couple of key words and the machine will wax fanciful. Of course somebody would manually have to adjust the "hate" setting each day...though probably not for each article.
Hey, can somebody teach monkeys to hate? Remember, monkeys are cheaper than special-purpose computers.....
