I think the line is really blurred between journalism, communications, "media," and broadcasting.

I think you're mistakenly assuming that all the "jobs" created by social media and internet use that have replaced traditional media jobs actually pay anything.
They mostly don't and if they do it's mostly peanuts. For the most part you still have to get on with a big backed company to make a living, which is no different than 15 years ago.
The only difference is very few people are willing to pay for online content compared to those willing to pay for print and TV content historically.
