The Decline of Cable News: CNN's Layoffs and the Shifting Media Landscape
The recent bombshell report of hundreds of job cuts at CNN has sent shockwaves through the media industry. The network, once a powerhouse in cable news, is facing a reckoning as it grapples with declining viewership and a changing media landscape.
The layoffs come on the heels of CNN's abysmal election day ratings, which saw the network lag behind competitors like MSNBC and Fox News. This has shone a spotlight on the broader decline of mainstream media, especially cable news. The presidential election has been a catalyst for this shift, as viewers increasingly turn away from traditional news sources.
