There will be no second Trump Bump
Briefly

The last Trump presidency brought attention to journalism, which thrived under chaotic conditions, but the subsequent loss of that momentum poses serious challenges ahead.
With Trump gone, the urgency faded and journalism faced layoffs, diminished funding, and a lack of bold public statements, highlighting a significant reduction in support.

The future looks grim for journalism without the same movement or support as before. The threat of legal and governmental pressures on journalists is increasing.
