The decline of local news was, many theorized, part of the reason that Trump, with his misinformation-strewn campaign, could gain purchase to begin with.
When did the local news decline begin? Where can readers find good examples of the decline? How many is many? Who exactly theorized? What kind of "misinformation" did Trump generate? When was that "misinformation" most prevalent? Did other candidates also engage in "misinformation"?
I have so many questions, and the article does little to answer them.
The business models that will sustain journalism in the future won’t be perfect. They’ll leave people out who need good-quality news the most. They will probably cater to older, wealthier men who (for now) make up the demographic most likely to pay for news. There will be idiocy and the enablement of rich idiots.
Save my very important, essential and totally not politically compromised industry, rich white male scum!

It started before Obama.
