How Can We Lure Back All the People Who Avoid News?
July 1, 2019
What happens if we produce journalism and nobody reads it? This is not an existential worry lurking beyond the keyboard of every reporter and editor, but a growing problem of “never-newsers”: people who deliberately or accidentally avoid the news.

Great idea. News festivals where media outlets partner with advocacy groups to shape the news. That should bring back audiences who have decided news organizations are irrelevant because they primarily amplify the voices of advocacy groups instead of explain tedious processes to interested audience segments.
The current Democratic candidates are boring and all have only two words in their lexicon, tax and spend. Compared to Trump they ensure large numbers of Americans will continue to distance themselves from the news.
When journalist Jamal Khashoggi was brutally murdered, media went into full attack mode and rightfully so. Conservative journalist Andy Ngo is brutally attacked by members of Antifa and the media silence is sickening. The blatant hypocrisy within the media industry does not go unnoticed and Americans continue turning their backs away from news reporting or in this case no reporting at all. The video of Ngo being attacked by hooded thugs is gut-wrenching and I do not understand how media professionals don’t care enough to say this is wrong, unacceptable and start reporting the truth by exposing the thugs, bullies, Antifa movement and catalyst for civil anarchy.
