It is sad to see the death spiral of print journalism. The constant barrage of TV news and its highly negative tone is poisoning society. I feel life was more peaceful when news came in papers in the morning and evening editions. There was no user tracking or analytics. While you had tabloids, you also had quality papers focused on plain news and opinions in the opinion pages. I feel the world at least in terms of news consumption has changed for the worse.
