17. Newspaper publishers


Employment change from 2006-2015: -47.2%
> Employment total: 190,426
> Wage growth from 2006-2015: 18.5%
> Avg. annual wage: $48,413With an increasing number of Americans finding their news through television and on the internet, the newspaper publishing industry is in decline. The share of adults who get news from social media alone has risen to more than 60%. In contrast, newspaper circulation in 2015 experienced its largest decline since 2009. In the past decade, employment in the industry has declined from about 361,000 to just above 190,000. Many smaller publishers have merged or been acquired by larger publishers as the industry is consolidating.

Common "thread" in the article relates to all the mills. Need to bring them back to USA.

12. Directory and mailing list publishers

no surprise here..

years ago I delivered phone books for C&P Telephone Company..pick up truck loads for days on end..Heavy white pages and even heavier yellow pages..

as this years have passed I of course notice the shrinkage of the 2 books...

but it had to happen...The cell phone and internet saw to that....



Employment change from 2006-2015: -50.5%
> Employment total: 22,146
> Wage growth from 2006-2015: 22.0%
> Avg. annual wage: $78,366Mailing lists and contact directories can be invaluable for companies and marketing firms to reach large groups of individuals who might fit a certain demographic. Employment in the industry declined substantially, from 44,800 in 2006 to about 22,100 in 2015.
Likely one of the biggest factors in the decline of directory and mailing list publishing business is the development and widespread use of customer relationship management software such as Salesforce, which automatically generates targeted customer lists for companies. Revenue of the company tripled in the last five years and it now has more than 150,000 clients.

Need to bring them back to USA.

Why?

 

[yyz]

Why?

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out?
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out?
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out?
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me?and there was no one left to speak for me.

Why not?

 

[BobbyBlueChip]

Why not?

Because they smell and use unskilled labor. Why do you want them back?

I just read the entire MSN article and found some of the dumbest shit on that list. Floppy discs are in a decline? Imagi-fuckin-that.


Looks like a Gawker employee took a job at MSN.

I stopped opening those articles on msn.com. Shit like the best 25 cities to retire, earn a living, get laid etc are such bullshit. In addition, when you go from page to page it takes forever to load due to the amount of bullshit advertising on each page.

I'm really getting to dislike the media. Kinda Trumplike of me isn't it?
