[BUSINESSINSIDER] In the past month, layoffs and cuts have hit Verizon Media, Gannett, the CBC, and Highsnobiety, bringing the total number of media layoffs, cuts, and buyouts in 2019 above 7,800, according to Business Insider's tally.

The latest cuts followed layoff and buyout announcements at BuzzFeed, Vice Media, and Disney.

#5 I suspect as with liberal Collages a decline is occurring and on going. 20% of liberal collages have closed so far this year and nearly 50% are estimated to close in 10 years. In contrast conservative oriented Colleges are expanding as I would suspect conservative media outlets as well.
