The Challenges of Legacy Media
The evolution of media has significantly impacted journalist credibility, especially in tech publications. With talented individuals transitioning into technology rather than journalism, there's a disconnect between the sectors, leading to a lack of quality reporting in tech. This shift has resulted in a decline of advertising revenue for traditional online publications, as giants like Google and Facebook dominate the digital ad space. Consequently, many publications that relied heavily on advertising have struggled, prompting innovators to explore alternative revenue models, such as focusing on subscription fees for premium content.
