A really shitty day.
And, you know, people ask me a lot, don't you benefit when somebody goes down who you compete with directly?
My answer is hard no.
And here's why.
Every time someone else in the American public or the global public competes,
who used to have high quality, independently reported journalism as a part of their daily life and as like relevant to them at a local level or a regional level, every time a little bit of that goes away, fewer people understand what independent journalism is and why it matters.
More people think a media diet largely shaped by algorithms that match your own worldview, that's good enough.
And that is bad.
That is bad for the public.
bad for the New York Times, bad for everyone.
