Sure, newspaper readership has been declining for years. Traditional journalists are afraid the industry is dying, but it’s not dying, just evolving.

At the peak of newspaper circulation in the 1980s, when there were over 60 million in circulation, to its decline to just around 35 million in 2016, according to the Pew Research Center, journalism and newspapers are facing a new challenge. Yes, a near drop of 30 million subscribers means that for the 28th consecutive year, daily newspapers are in a decline, but digital subscriptions are not.

In 2016 alone, The New York Times added more than 500,000 digital subscriptions, The Wall Street Journal added 150,000 and The Chicago Tribune added 100,000.

Digital subscriptions are not the only thing that has affected the decline of print subscriptions; social media has as well. As Chris Cillizza, a Washington Post reporter suggested, the traditional “what,” “so what” and “now what” questions are being answered differently.

Social media sites like Facebook and Twitter, along with Google News, offer people an easier way to see the “what” of news. The “so what” and the “now what” are now more important than ever  for the news organizations.

Cillizza argues that newspapers need to focus on how to reach audiences with the “now what” and the “so what,” instead of focusing on the “what” of the story. Readers can find that bit of news anywhere, but to get a detailed analysis of the other two segments is what can keep journalism relevant.

We are in a digital age with younger generations going digital in nearly every aspect of their lives. From online streaming services like Netflix, Hulu and Amazon to social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat, young consumers have been consumed digitally.

News organizations are slowly starting to accommodate this by shifting their focus to online advertisements and consumption. As older generations fade away, print circulation will only decrease, and the newspaper will continue to slowly fade away, but the news will be viewed in different ways.

Journalism needs to evolve just like everything else is. The New York Times has more than 2.3 million digital subscribers, which leads all news organizations, according to Forbes. The Wall Street Journal has 1.27 million digital subscribers and The Washington Post has recently cleared the 1 million hurdle. Other regional news organizations like the LA Times, Boston Globe and the Star-Tribune all have over 50,000 digital subscribers. People are still consuming the news, just with a different medium.

“Truth: We need to do both the “what” and the “so what/now what” of journalism,” Chris Cillizza said. “But as the audience for the “what” continues to be harder and harder to capture (and, less fun to talk about but no less true, monetize), we need to also understand that the best way to get people addicted to our content may be to spend more time and energy on the “so what” and “now what” sides of the journalistic equation.”

Newspapers are dying, it is true, but journalism won’t die with it.
