WHAT KILLED THE TRADITIONAL NEWSPAPER?

HINT...

...IT WAS NOT THE INTERNET!

.

Well, let us look at the two current, main, prime suspects...

.

Well, it was either...

.

"Extinction Rebellion" in a single weekend of protest,

.

Or

.

The fact that all their sales plummeted through the floor due to a lack of integrity and the constant systemic sensationalist lying over decades. so no one trusted them anymore.

.

It was one of those two things,

.

But who could possibly say for certain which it was for sure??

.

Well, I reckon that I can!

My working theory is that the internet did not kill the paper press.

I reckon that the paper press committed suicide, via wanton neglect instead!

Leaving a lying note behind, trying to pin the fake blame on the internet!

.

It is hard to be sympathetic to an industry that wantingly kept shooting itself in the foot.

.

The internet would never be able to compete with Newspaper Media 'IF' they had not ruined their own reputation.

.

As soon as the first person said,

.

"You can't believe all you read in the press"

.

The idea that they could not be trusted took hold.

.

The 'cancer' that killed this industry should have been dealt with there and then and kept on top of.

.

Now it may be far too late!

.

If you are a journalist that has lost your job.

Aks yourself

How much of that is YOUR fault?

.

How long into your first day on the job did you last...?

...Before you made your first professional compromise?

.

"Free ice cream" that taste of dog shit can never compete with "paid for ice cream" that taste nice.

.

If journalistic integrity quality standards had not fallen so low then the internet with all its fake news would not have been a factor.

.

But now both types of ice cream taste the same!

.

So, of course, people are going to now choose the free option.

.

Would you pay extra for a car that had no added quality value?!

.

If one car cost $500 and the other is free but they are both just as unreliable as each other.

.

Why would you ever choose to pay for the 500$ car?

.

For that 500$, no matter how cheap that was, for a car,

You would rightly demand a much better level of reliability!

.

It the same with news media.

A newspaper may only cost 1$, But why would you even pay that as little as 1$ if the free internet so-called "news" was just as reliable?!

For that 1$ you would rightly demand a much better level of reliability!

Hell!

For a newspaper that I could believe in.

And I mean, REALY, believe in?!

I would happily pay 20$ an issue!

But, sadly, no such newspaper exists anymore!

So,

THE MOST UNBELIEVABLE PART ABOUT SUPERMAN!

.

Is not the supervillains or the superpowers!

.

Or the storylines in general...

.

The Most unbelievable part about the Superman universe now,

.

Is that that a "Writer" called "Lois Lane" that tries to uncover corruption and who is a groundbreaking investigative journalist with unbreakable integrity and a passion for the truth,

Can ever exist again?

.

THAT is NOW the hard part to swallow!

(Even "IF" she did exist she would have been "Legally" imprisoned for life halfway through ANY Superman story!)

.

.

DEAR ALL JOURNALIST!

HERE IS A HEARTFELT HINT FOR YOU ALL!

.

Re-writing an 'official press release' and making two phone calls for some extra quotes,

.

IS NOT JOURNALISM!

.

It is a grade school PR exercise!

.

And I grade most of you with a "D-"

With a red pen, notation scrawled underneath, saying

"MUST TRY HARDER!"
