The crisis facing journalism is that there has been one institution, and one business model, that does most of the heavy lifting for most of the last hundred years. And that’s newspapers getting local ads and using it to subsidize the newsroom. And it worked so well for so long that nobody ever thought, “You know, if this model breaks, we’re all in real trouble.” And that was partly because the newspapers weren’t paying attention to what was happening, and partly because what happened was so dramatically different from anything in the 20th century media landscape.
