Media Coverage Decline

The desolation of America's news landscape continues to deepen as the closures of newspapers escalate. In 2023, the closure rate surged to an average of 2.5 per week, up from two per week the previous year, as revealed by a study from Northwestern University. This alarming trend mirrors the deteriorating advertising environment. By the end of the following year, the nation is projected to have lost a third of its newspapers since 2005. Shockingly, over half of all U.S. counties now lack adequate local news coverage, with either one or no local news outlets.

​

Impact on the Arts and Culture

This decline has had a profound impact on arts and culture reporting, which has seen a significant deterioration. Only major news conglomerates can afford to allocate part-time resources to arts and entertainment coverage, leaving smaller outlets unable to do so due to resource constraints. Consequently, millions of artists find themselves without a platform to showcase their creative endeavors.
