Research: Newspapers Slash Jobs as Internet Rises

Engadget: As internet penetration has grown, newspaper sales have dipped dramatically, as have traditional newspaper jobs. Between 1990 and 2016, the newspaper publishing industry shrunk by nearly 60 percent, from roughly 458,000 jobs to 183,000 jobs, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. In this same time, the number of internet publishing and broadcasting jobs rose from 30,000 to 198,000. In just under three decades, the newspaper industry has transformed from a media juggernaut into a secondary form of communication.
