Journalism at a crossroads: A self-critique

How ironic? All this, coupled with the dwindling global revenues in the face of a growing digital platforms threats and a challenge to credibility makes matters worse. Additionally, a lack of laws that protect journalists and explicitly pronounce free speech within the constitution, spells doom for the industry.

However, to this end, a number of publications have thus survived. Post the COVID-19 pandemic, media business has not done well which saw some outlets retrenching staff whereas others mainly rely on cheap labor and or inexperience to navigate this difficult financial terrain. Who can blame them? It is an industry at a crossroads and in dire need of vigorous self -introspection. Rhetorically, we can spend all the time speaking, but the reality of the matter is that the media needs innovative solutions.
