The downfall of journalism in this country is something that isn't often talked about. I know I know this is just a football reporter in a small town, but it is sad how journalists and reporters whether is hard news, sports, local news...etc are just dying before our eyes and nobody seems to care.

Paywalls for newspapers on the internet are annoying, but overall "I GET IT." Nobody buys a physical newspaper anymore unless you are over the age of like 55 and refuse to join society and learn to work a computer or smartphone. So these companies have to make money somehow some way.

And with people sharing log-ins, clearing their browser every time to get their "free read limit" so they don't have to pay, outlets like these newspapers are just dead. They can't survive and they can't afford to pay a staff. Throw in BLOGS and what is called "new media" where you have non-journalists putting out quality content from their homes, some even as a part-time job or just a "hobby" and the field of journalism is under attack and will lose this battle.

It's so sad. I feel horrible for Stephen and Ben. In a different era they would have jobs for life and would not have to worry about such things. Being a journalist/reporter in this era, it's tough. It's really tough!

Best of luck to both of them
