Neil Brown, president of Poynter, stated, "There's been a drumbeat of news about the waning news business and people not interested in news...tired. I also think it's incomplete." This perspective highlights a deeper issue beneath the surface-level narrative of a failing industry.
Brown further elaborates on the shifts in journalism, asserting, "I think the narrative of the news business is dying - is wrong. It's off. It's transforming. It's different... new and different." He emphasizes the emergence of innovative journalistic startups and content creation.
He provides concrete examples of new organizations like the Baltimore Banner and URL Media, stating, "...are filling gaps in local news coverage and reaching underserved communities." This illustrates how journalism is evolving to meet new demands.
Finally, he notes, "If we are true to our mission, which is to be storytellers, the story needs to be a lot more complete than it's been." This calls for a broader approach to journalism that includes diverse narratives.
