Because the quality is down the drain?
And, as in a drain, it spirals faster and faster: fewer readers, less money lesser quality articles, which means even fewer readers…
I haven’t bought bought a physical paper in about ten years (or more), while it once was a daily ‘duty’.
Even the ones more aligned with my point of view have the same quality problems: every time I read an articles on topics I somewhat know at a more than superficial level, I find them sloppy and misleading if not totally wrong.
How do I know the pieces on stuff I’m not in are correct?
I have subscribed to an online paper, “il Post”, its content is 99% free, but they deserve my support: well researched articles, they eschew sensationalist language, very little space to ‘cronaca’ (gossip, petty crime, celebrities etc.) and always with an eye to the social implications.
They also have a series of high quality podcasts.
