#1 In the 21st century, accelerating technological transformation has undermined the business models that kept American news media afloat, raising the possibility that the great institutions on which we have depended for news of the world around us may not survive.

...Nor publish the truth...

#2 Funny how this "decline" happens along side the extreme tilt toward "progressivism" by the reporters and editors. The further they have pushed a progressive agenda by repressing some news, and fabricating other news, and spinning the rest to support their progressive causes, the worse and worse they become. Correlation is not causation, per se, but it can be at times -- and there's definitely fire under all this progressive press smoke, going back to "fake but accurate" and beyond.

I wonder if anyone has the guts to tackle that?

#3 It's not so much the technology which is killing the 'great institutions'. Even they are adapting to the new tech by having great websites and media sites. Just look at CNN.com, ABC.com, etc... they are very well made and user-friendly sites. It's not the tech, platform, or medium - its the content!

What is killing the 'great institutions' isn't the tech - it's the infiltration by socialists and statists.

The same thing is happening on Universities and Collages - socialist infiltration. Harvard did once earned it's reputation as a top-notch university. now it, and other once-great universities, are little more than indoctrination centers.

Not to mention K-12 education with the Teachers Union influence.
