I sort of agree and don't agree. Actual print press is teetering on it's last legs. If people still go to the Mail and the Sun for their intake, rather than more unbiased sources, well the problem there is education of the masses.
So many people don't quite get how media is now forced to work in the digital age. The majority will promote the stories that get the most clicks, as it's how they earn what little revenue there is left in news. Hence why you get 'clickbait' articles. And also why you get all the idiocy around 'well you won't see this in the MSM' - you will, and you do (if you do a little searching), it just might not be on the front page of the site you choose, because that particular story doesn't get the most clicks.
It's a bit of a bind for the more unbiased and reasonable outlets like, for instance, Reuters and AP. They still need to run as commercial organisations, whilst abiding to things like the "Reuters trust principles" which prevent them from biased reporting and/or opinion. So whereas they may want to produce more stories about, for example, the recent devastating typhoon in the Philippines, they may not promote it as front page news, because people just aren't interested (another thing entirely).
The main thing is trying to educate people away from deeply opinionated news sites like The Sun, for want of a better example, and toward more source based news like Reuters.
The difficulty is that people aren't actually all *that* interested in news. They want to be entertained, so we get bullshit like pieces about Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly.
