I am a journalist. I haven’t been on the air in years but still freelance articles.
My feeling is that newspaper owners took a look at that election map and realized their business model is to sell to a minority. If they want to survive, they’re going to have to start covering and presenting real news to a wider audience.
Also, and very importantly, if they’re watching Trump, and covering his presidency, no one will take their criticisms seriously. The public is now obviously immune to their Trump bashing. If they want to present legitimate reporting on Trump’s presidency, they’re going to have to start appearing fair and balanced. Otherwise, perceived fair criticisms will never be taken seriously. They’ve set a horrible precedence that anything they say about Trump is a lie, with the purpose of destroying him. They’re now in a position where they can’t convince the public that anything they say is legitimate.
Newspapers and most media are just mountains of lies, and they know we know it.
I’m truly doubtful they’ll ever be able to change our perceptions of them no matter what they do. It’s too late.
Not gonna work. American boomers have short memories, I am not so sure about the current 18-29 or 30-45 age groups. They are already majority conservative and what they did to Trump will rermain in their conscious for decades.

Then again, Americans have short memories.
