Yes, newsrooms are shrinking — but journalism is growing

Article

This article is an article that shows journalism is growing whilst newsrooms decrease. New York Times newsroom, with the paper essentially paying about 100 staffers to leave, by compensating them with up to three weeks of salary for every year they were employed. This means that there is an increase in citizen journalism which leads to journalism companies growing. This is because, it decrease cost, but also gives them stories and footage which allows them to use, for free or very little cost. In my opinion, I believe that although journalism is growing, newsrooms should be growing too, in order to allow journalist to do what they do best. And if they cant get into a job which they are qualified for, there was no point them taking time out to do so.
