The US media industry is currently facing a significant crisis, characterized by mass layoffs and the closure of numerous news outlets. This situation has led to a widespread call for action to preserve the functioning of the media ecosystem. Proposals include providing immediate aid to struggling journalists, offering public subsidies to smaller news outlets, and transforming the industry into a publicly funded system. Additionally, some commentators suggest that abolishing journalism schools could be a solution to the crisis. Amidst this turmoil, former CNN boss Jeff Zucker is attempting to build an old-school media empire by purchasing the U.K.'s Daily Telegraph, despite the industry's challenges.
