SHM, The Age Red-Faced over Red Alert

The Nine papers made some very - VERY- alarming predictions three years ago that by now we’d be at war with China. So far, so wrong.

This should make you properly gloomy. In 2002 there were 40 professional, nonpartisan journalists for every 100,000 Americans. Today there are eight. What does it mean? That we are making decisions about public policies and civic progress today with a lot fewer facts than two decades ago. And, no, social media is not taking up the slack. https://theconversation.com/why-the-pittsburgh-post-gazettes-closure-exposes-a-growing-threat-to-democracy-272992 #newsmedia

Unless, of course, your big city paper just laid off its entire sports staff. https://washingtonian.com/2026/03/02/the-athletic-just-hired-six-former-post-sports-journalists-what-does-that-mean-for-dc-sports-coverage/ #newsmedia
The Athletic Just Hired Six Former Post Sports Journalists. What Does That Mean for DC Sports Coverage? - Washingtonian

For area sports fans, the Washington Post’s deep staff cuts in early February were especially painful. The paper eliminated its entire sports section, erasing a department that not only birthed Pardon the Interruption and a Congressional investigation into the Washington Commanders' toxic workplace culture under former owner Dan Snyder, but also covered local teams and
