Challenges for Legacy Media in a Changing Landscape
The shift in media consumption patterns highlights the challenges faced by legacy news organizations in the wake of recent political events, particularly Trump's victory. Many Americans are increasingly accessing news from diverse sources, diminishing the relevance of traditional media outlets like cable news and newspapers. This results in a struggle for these organizations to maintain their significance, as they adapt to a landscape where trust in established journalism is waning.
