Don't Put Your Future In Someone Else's Hands
From television to print and digital, no platform is immune from the widespread cuts. In 2023 media companies slashed more than 20,000 jobs including nearly 2,700 in the news industry. This as advertising dollars continue to shrink and executives scramble to reinvent the failing business model. CNN, The Evening Standard, Vice, Buzzfeed, Allen Media Group, and Paramount are among the outlets implementing the deepest cuts in 2024.
Meantime, the journalists and storytellers who are spared are enduring stagnant wages despite having an increasing workload. According to a 2023 UNC poll 70% of journalists have experienced work-related burnout.
