Seen both PDF of DN & Standard in another forum that should be professional. No reprimand. Those guys lack content. Hata hakuna big ads to reckon with.
It's time to move. Move from traditional media because something happened to time and space. They lost control and monopoly.
Personally, I subscribe to both Nation and Standard digital editions. Especially for reading features. But when you go to town, you won't find people around newspaper stands. Most will be on their phones. Yet journalists should pay bills.
Newspaper lost its mojo when it stayed long to embrace change. Now facing extinction, it will take a big deal to put these back on the road of imagination.
As for TV, that has better promise. It still needs to go digital if it is to escape the curse of content drought. This is because you don't have to wait for 9PM to know how the day was.
TV still controls much of living room eyeballs. Both in urban and rural areas. If electricity outage is reliable.
It's time to interrogate the survival tactics of veterans and newcomers, some embroiled in big scandals that still make kids think again of ever taking the media path. Because much of action needs explaining to outsiders. Since no brief is owed, no need.
