Ben Davis says, “Once upon a time, the success of an article was judged by how interesting it was to read.
Of course, front page splashes, naked girls and free giveaways had an impact on print sales, but so, too, did regular columnists of quality and serialised work.
Essentially, serving your audience was thought to be important and publications often had agendas that went some way to determining their output.
I think this is still the case with print media, but one can’t ignore the fact that print is receding. As it does, news and media online is to some extent being depoliticised as social media allows any publisher to reach an extended audience. Reaching large audiences is important for driving up the cost of advertising inventory”.
