(FROM THE ARTICLE:
Dozens of local newsrooms began laying people off this week out of fear that
the economic hit of the coronavirus could severely impact their ad revenue. Why
it matters: Local news was already facing dire strains in the United States.
The coronavirus and a pending recession could push the industry into near
collapse at a time when people need access to local news and information more
than ever before. Driving the news: Despite the fact that local outlets are
experiencing higher levels of traffic and viewership in years, many have wasted
no time trying to get ahead of what will be a long, financial struggle. So far
there have been roughly 100 known local newsroom layoffs at outlets like the
Monterey Country Weekly, the Sacramento News & Review, the Tampa Bay Times,
Detroit Metro Times, Riverfront Times, Cleveland Scene, Orlando Weekly, San
Antonio Current, and others, per Nieman Lab.)
