위기에 놓인 미국의 주요 언론사들

 

If you think the news is bad these days, it’s worse for the news business. The Tribune Company filed for bankruptcy 파산 신청을 하다 after losing $124 million last quarter. The Miami Herald may be up for sale <팔 물건으로> 내놓다. And to make up ~을 보상하다 revenue 수입, 수익, the New York Times is taking out ~을 꺼내다 a $225 million mortgage on its new headquarters. “It’s been the worst year in my memory. And I’ve been following this industry over 25 years.”

 

The problem? There’s more than just one. First off <구어> 첫째로, the economy. Ad revenue dropped 7% last year and a whopping 엄청난 18% in the third quarter of this year. “The three major advertising categories in classified <광고가> 항목별의 all declined dramatically at the same time for the first time in history.” Real estate, car and help wanted ads are all disappearing.

 

Second, simply fewer people are buying papers. Circulation 발행부수 is down 5% nationwide with no region spared 면하게 하다. Circulation at the Orange County Register, Houston Chronicle, Detroit News, and Boston Globe all fell more than 10% in the last 6 months. The newsstand is locked 맞붙다 in an uphill 애먹는 battle with the Internet. “Just so easy to browse 검색하다 on the Internet to find whatever you need.”

 

In Cambridge, Massachusetts, Out of Town News an icon in Harvard Square is closing after more than 50 years. Sheldon Cohen is the founder 설립자. “What it is today is people are on the Internet. And they get all that free, you don’t have to pay for newspapers.”

 

And while the papers are making some money on Internet ads, it’s nowhere near enough to make up for ~을 만회하다 the shortfall 부족분<액>. Not to mention the fact that blogs and sites are picking up their content without paying them a dime. The Tribune says it will keep publishing papers. The question is, will they be reporting on breaking news or broken newspapers? John Burman, ABC News, New York.
