I understand the media business is under attack business model wise but when does this all stop? Newspapers, local tv, national tv, print media, magazines etc are all gutting staff.
I understand that the internet has changed things but sooner or later there isn't going to be anybody covering anything sports or news wise. Somebody has to go gather the actual content for it to be reported on.
I vividly recall watching Sports @11/11:30 on channel 7 in Calgary. We didn't think about it at the time but how good was that programming? 2-4 guys covering both local and national sports full time, on a 30 minute show daily.
Best of luck to all those involved, tough time to be looking for work in this business. |
First part of bolded.
The media is not under attack. It os one form of it and they kind of brought it on themselves. Over priced , way to many commercials and having to follow a strict scheduling of when they can be on.
Well maybe they will just you know get writer or video content jobs on the internet.
2nd part of bolded.
C'mon it is not like they don't report sports or news on the internet. Dramatic much?
