Newspapers lost the plot the moment they stopped being the collective conscience and decided to be products.
I was with India’s largest English newspaper group when it went overboard trying to maximize profit. The Old Lady of Boribunder became the whore from Colaba.
I believe newspapers should not be for profit. To be a journalist is not a career, it’s a vocation. If you haven’t got beaten up, arrested, or at least threatened, don’t bother calling yourself a journo. Shut the papers.
Start anew. Return to the pursuit of truth and knowledge for the benefit of a better society.
