I have repeated some of the things here to my coworkers in the past. My city for the most part is a community of retired people (baby boomers). They are use to getting their paper, and get angry when the crosswords are missing. You'd be surprised how many elderly people call and complain about little things like that, or maybe it's not so surprising.

Social media has changed the way news is reported as well. Everyone is a reporter now and by the time news agencies find out about an incident the public knows more about it then they do.

If someone is around when an accident happens they snap a picture and post it on facebook before offering the injured a helping hand. By the time a reporter catches the beat the comments are full of more information than the reporter could gather on their own. "Oh that's so and so....etc."

If you went to our website and removed all the click bait, advertising, "non-news" items the page would: 1: load faster :) 2: be mostly empty

Sad times for newspapers.
