No, all you're showing is that large media corporations were able to find revenue outside of their print media and still maintain the structures that represent the modicums of Journalistic integrity. This is still counter to at best most of the companies ad revenues are down 50% and many are still taking a loss based on print medium but are able to stay around because they are able to get ad revenue for different areas which are almost entirely online.
My position, Print media is almost at it's death knell because it is no longer sustainable. It is not sustainable because they aren't profitable. They are not profitable because most people get their information from other sources. This is fact. It's not debatable.
Please explain your position further of how they are using Print Media stories when the stories are being presented online (often behind a paywall) prior to or at least the same time as their print media counterparts. Think ESPN, BBC, NYTimes, Washington Post.
The biggest stories of this year have almost all been posted online as soon as they are ready.
Which online properties are profitable? Maybe Drudge because he has very little staff and doesn't create content. Nearly all of them are in debt including BuzzFeed and Yahoo. Web ad revenue is not popping like it was in the early 2000s. They are in as much trouble as print. Being cheaper to produce is not the same as being profitable. Websites die everyday, B.
I think you are confusing newspapers that publish their content online (NYT, WashPost, WSJ) with websites that are online only like The Hill, Huffington Post, Breitbart, etc.
If print was truly dead why did the MSM make such a big deal out of Clinton's newspaper endorsements? LOL
The Baltimore Sun's coverage of Freddy Gray, the LA Times coverage of the San Bernadino shooting, Tampa Bay Times series on Florida schools all won Pulitzers.
Ted Mann at the WSJ broke Bridgegate after receiving a tip from someone at the Fort Lee mayor's office. Bill Clinton's comments about Trump after the election originated in a tiny local paper and became a huge story. All were used as sourcing by tv and online outlets. High value brand newspapers are still doing ok.
Just because something appears online doesn't mean it didn't originate in an actual newsroom. Not to mention all of the local stories that are covered in newspapers that they don't bother to upload but tv news stations use to find stories. Obituaries, wedding announcements, etc are still a "thing".
Now what is actually dead or dying is foreign coverage and investigative reporting. Both are expensive and are usually the first to go when a paper makes cuts to survive.
