It's not even social media alone. The magazine National Geographic had the last of its staff fired last month. Now all of their articles are written by freelancers and there's no longer a physical copy being sold.
Wasn't national geographic bought by disney a couple years back?
Yeah, Disney is trying to make National Geographic more "profitable".
God forbid we return to loss leader journalism... =(
What's that?
Asking for a friend.
Having a highly educated populace tends to be bad for business. Workers need to be educated just enough to work and not ask any questions. A desire to read publications that might expand one’s knowledge or communicate new and different ideas correlates to education. Just work hard and buy these distractions. That’s why there is a war on education in red states. Of course no one is buying National Geographic anymore. They’ve spent the past 30 years dumbing down the US on purpose.
Actually it went from Fox to Disney. Fox sank the magazine, really... they were still publishing it, but it was an embarrassment, the kind of vapid trifle that you'd find on a supermarket checkout aisle next to People and the National Enquirer. Remember when David Hasselhoff had a drinking problem and his daughter filmed him eating a hamburger off the ground? It was the magazine version of that. The absolute rock bottom for a cherished institution.
