My observation for what it is worth is when newspapers were the source of news far, far more people finished what they were reading and then held their head up and talked to the person next to them. Today people hardly pick their head up to talk to each other, seem less informed and aware of anything other than contemporary memos. Their digital info seldom seems to be entirely accurate or complete as if it came from just another untrained or uneducated "man on the street". The "truthiness" as Colbert explains come not from the actual world around us but our feelings about the world around us. Certainly true about some liberals no doubt, but more actually displayed far more so by people who believe anything Donald Trump has to say. That evidence is in grand supply.
It is the ease and speed of transmission that is the threat from what I've read.TDS is making more people sick than the corona virus.
Lol..."sport"? Its 2020...not the Roaring Twenties. Yeah, you clearly have a firm grasp on where things are headed. Spare me the stories about walking uphill both ways. Newspaper is dead. Deal with it.Sport, this isn’t an either or thread. You can still have your millennial way. Nobody gonna take it away from you like an all day sucker. Why does everything on here have to be challenged? Millennials, you guys act like it never got done til you showed up. Spare me.
This is my fear. Sports getting so deep into politics it kills the game.The sports pages have become another way to spread the leftist message. They were not happy with just every other part of the newspaper. So they injected it into sports writing and sport in general. Hopefully the news media fails before taking down sports itself.
The Herald Leader has never done itself any favors with its more liberal slant. I dont want this to turn into a political thread, so please, no one take this and run with it on some tangent. While politcally, Lexington is more liberal than the rest of the state, its still a majority conservative. I personally would rather just have local news covered without any political slant. Each issue is its own individual and one side or the other doesnt have a monopoly on right or wrong. I just hate yellow journalism that tries to insert their own inherent bias into pieces, even if its not malicious. The H-L seemingly sticks to its guns doggedly with its slant in spite of the majority (well, at one point in history anyway until media changed) of its subscribers being more conservative. Not exactly a sustainable business model...tick off your customer base. All of that notwithstanding, the news in general needs to just report the news, from the local level on up to national. Let the people decide how they feel on each and every issue that affects them individually. Left and right arent right on every issue. Compromise, civility, finding common ground etc.

Good luck with that quality journalismAs one of the millenials driving this change....why on Earth would I pay for yesterday's news just to have it in hard copy form. I understand the desire to have a physical piece to read, thats why books havent totally tanked. ebooks just arent the same (though i do use a lot of audiobooks. I do however also buy a lot of books.)
But the days of paying to see yesterdays news and scores, and not even having all the scores are over folks (game started at 9 or 10...we couldn't get that coverage to print so now youll get that info 2 days later :lol: )
Love it or hate it, print newspaper is a dinosaur in the ephemeral media industry. And before someone decides to go on a diatribe about the writing, I subscribe to the Athletic because I do appreciate quality journalism and am willing to pay for it.

The Nashville Tennessean is published in KnoxvilleMore and more are going to online service only or closing their doors. Even a city as large as Lexington no longer has a local paper really as the HL now comes out of Louisville and reports aren't even up to date when delivered in Lexington
Interestingly enough poster is right. The Tennessean is nearly dead because it stopped most all high school covering and is totally liberal with its political opinions. Parents like to read about their kids and older conservatives bought the papers. I stopped mine a year agoThanks for not making this a political thread. Let me guess, you just happen to be a conservative.
He's a worth less dick, plain and simple. Haven't bought one of their papers in yearsTipton wrote an article once that included some harsh insults towards a player, because the player's father had filed bankruptcy. It was some of the most mean-spirited and hateful writing I've seen in a newspaper.
I will admit print media overall is dying. But our local sports reporter -Evan Dennison does so much more than just the paper. I couldn’t imagine not being able to click on his Twitter account to get updates and insights. The sheer amount of time the sports reporters put in to give us articles, special editions, and overall coverage to me is essential to the sports environment in our local areas.As one of the millenials driving this change....why on Earth would I pay for yesterday's news just to have it in hard copy form.

And I think that sucks
Won’t be much longer and newspaper business will be gone.
I don't think Lexington is more liberal than the rest of the state. Florence likely is.The Herald Leader has never done itself any favors with its more liberal slant.

Louisville and then Lexington are. Its simple demographics. Or just look up county voting resultsI don't think Lexington is more liberal than the rest of the state. Florence likely is.
sad but true the newer generation gets all their info and news from their phones or social media.Won’t be much longer and newspaper business will be gone.
Schools of Journalism are a waste of tuition money and newspapers are useless. They are the ones at fault for their demise. If they had stuck to telling the truth and reporting facts it might have turned out differently
They will not be missed.
Well stated.Newspapers and the media in general started going down hill beginning with the Watergate reporting. While I have no problem with reporting the facts, it seems media types began trying to be the next Woodward and Bernstein. It's like they were no longer interested in doing the only thing they were really talented enough to do...reporting facts, writers and reporters wanted to develop a reputation...win a nobel prize or something. Perfect example was the uk bball thing in the late 80's. It's like the reporter/reporters wanted to make a name for themselves...again, versus simply regurgitating the news and facts. They got their day in the sun but hurt D Casey, whom I still believe go the shaft.
The problem with this? I have no problem with anyone wanting to make it to the top of their chosen profession, but it's like they now are more interested in being societal architects; they want to shape society. They are among the least qualified of all professions to take on that task.
I may be confusing voting for behavior.Louisville and then Lexington are. Its simple demographics. Or just look up county voting results
There's no left wing/right wing reason for the demise of newspapers. It's simply a matter of most people not wanting to pay to read yesterday's news. My wife subscribes to the St Lucie Tribune and USA Today, which also gives us digital access to them. The Tribune does an awesome job covering high school sports here on the Treasure Coast, and all of their news coverage on the website is updated as it happens. She just likes having that paper to hold. I keep trying to get her to drop the print editions and pay for digital only, which are cheaper, but she's stubborn. She says she likes getting the sales papers. I show her how you can get the weekly ads online, but it doesn't phase her.
Back in Tennessee, the Times-News may as well fold their sports department too. They have minimal coverage of high school sports, and there is a group of guys who used to write for them and a couple of other local papers who started a website to give in-depth coverage to local college and high school sports, and it's been pretty successful.
At any rate, you want pro/college scores/box scores? Look online. You want high school scores/box scores? It's online. You want to look at the classifieds? Tons of stuff/real estate/vehicles sales are available online. Hell, even the funny papers are online.
I don't think Lexington is more liberal than the rest of the state. Florence likely is.
Are you speaking of CNN, MSNBC etc?So are real reporters for the most part. Goes together perfectly. Now we have idiots behind a keyboard with a check mark that people think represent great opinions and news.
Are you speaking of CNN, MSNBC etc?
Typical! "I don't want this to turn into a political thread after I give my political opinion." The funny thing is I really do believe this guy can't see the duplicity he represents here.
Don’t know where you get your info but things go on in Lex that would get people killed in conservative spots of our state. Check the voting records Lex is without a doubt more liberal than the rural parts of our state. Northern Ky might be liberal also but almost nowhere is more liberal than Lex.I don't think Lexington is more liberal than the rest of the state. Florence likely is.
