The Axe Continues to Swing At Journalists

/

The group SaveJounalism.org says that 7,200 Journalists have lost their job so far in 2019.

They blame big tech for the reason Journalists are losing their jobs. They write, “Google, Facebook, and Apple control nearly everything and everyone who uses their products. They already gobble up a majority of digital advertising revenue, and by squeezing news publishers out of the competition entirely, they’ll be able to control almost all of the digital ad revenue in the U.S.”

The group also created a map that tracks layoffs, buyouts, and closures by state over the last few years.
