There’s something subtle missing here. There were points when one could go to the news stand or box and buy a single paper, but subscription was ~always a big part of revenue. “Subscription” isn’t the thing that makes now different.
Online subscriptions are different from subscriptions in the print era. They're based on affiliation rather than geography. And I suspect (though only the NYT has the data) they may be heavily driven by outrage clicks.
In the case of national TV news, it feels like a similar trend, but that started much earlier and unrelated to the internet. (I still remember my reaction upon discovering the unabashed partisanship of TV news when I first moved to the US in 2000).
People who were old enough felt the same way. TV news in the 70s and even 80s was very different. But The Network came out as a satire in 1976, so maybe it’s gotten worse but was never actually good.
Hmm. Interesting. Geography mattered; you always had a local paper. But so did affiliation. I grew up with the Detroit News and the Detroit Free Press. Most people bought one or the other. Some people read both, just to get “both sides” of the story. Much to think about here.
