TRUTHDIG’S JOURNALISM REMAINS CLEARThe New York Times:
Changing readership habits and increasing competition from the Internet have hit the newspaper industry especially hard, cutting overall circulation sharply over the last decade. Those forces, and the severe economic downturn, have significantly eroded advertising, the primary revenue source for newspapers.
The Rocky has about 230 reporters, editors and other employees in its newsroom. It will close just two months short of its 150th anniversary.
The storytellers of chaos tried to manipulate the political and media narrative in 2025, but independent journalism exposed what they tried to hide. When you read Truthdig, you see through the illusion.
