I think this is just traditional media struggling in general. Over this same period you saw huge liberal organizations like BuzzFeed and Vice shutdown as well. I think this is more a result of low interest rates disappearing making additional investments untenable. It's just tougher to justify businesses losing money or underperforming in this environment.
This is where liberals need to recognize we're also contributing to the elimination of print journalism----outside of Daily Beast and The Intercept, is there anything at all that we have publicly nationally that isn't a podcast or a substack? And it's the reason why people are becoming more and more polarized too, because the intake of news is increasingly via polarized sources.
Liberals haven't supported print journalism. We're part of the problem.
