    Will we also have to go to a time where we’ll have to buy physical newspapers so that journalists can make a living? Or do we expect them to also share information just for the sake of sharing information?

      You don’t need physical newspapers, but if you want good journalism you should definitely pay for your news.

        The hard part is finding someone still doing good journalism that’s relevant. My local paper is long gone and the nearby major city newspaper is a shadow of its former illustrious self. I do pay a news aggregator but have no idea how much of that goes all the way back

      Unlikely. Some new approach to paid journalism will need to be developed. But that’s already the case, AI’s just driving the existing trend further.

      That never left. We’re still buying our local newspaper concerning 60000 people. It is way more relevant than any piece of news you might find on the web.
