Journalism is under threat like never before. If that seems like hyperbole in relation to an industry which, admittedly, is sometimes prone to excitability and exaggeration, just consider that in 2023, some 8,000 journalists’ jobs were lost in the US and UK alone. Last year, it was 4,000 and so far, in 2025, the running tally is already above 900.
Those are the ones that are published. Almost certainly there are many more, beneath the radar. Those too, are the figures for only the US and UK. All over the world, they’re disappearing and with them entire news titles and platforms.
