This article takes a look at the struggles faced by mass media. Everywhere, mass media seems to be in crisis. NBC slashed its news-gathering operations and plans to shutter its MSNBC headquarters. New York Times Company profits were 39% lower than a year before. The "Boston Globe" and other smaller papers are suffering, and "Business Week" is shedding editorial staffers. Internet is the reason. Young people don't buy newspapers or watch the news, they turn to the Internet, Blogs that are sometimes more reliable, and Google.
