> Traditional media has become replaced by Social media

But there is nothing that I've seen that fills the niche that NG filled at all. If you just want a shallow look at another place, then yes, there is plenty of that online. But that wasn't NG's thing.

It's not just NG. We have lost quite a lot of really valuable things, never to be replaced with anything comparable.

I'd argue that Vice News's website-news articles partially filled the void of NG, with their travel adventure content. It was basically the web-form of a magazine.

Could be! I'm not familiar with their travel-adventure stories.

vice that just declared bankruptcy after torching a billion in VC to fill that void. the void is back.
