Americans have little to no trust in establishment media. Podcasts and independent journalists are the new mainstream, and the trends are accelerating. A new firm now has local news in the crosshairs.

Organizations once referred to as the “mainstream media,” perhaps more accurately described as establishment or fake media, are losing public trust at warp speed. Many outlets are letting go of employees quickly even as salaries are reined in.

At the local level, big shifts are happening too. With leftwing local newspapers struggling, folding, and being bought out by huge conglomerates, a new startup company, yourNEWS, threatens to roll up what’s left of that sector, too.
