Lea Walsh INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY OF FINDINGS a. 6 OA ,9 O r Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION The classified "help wanted" sectionsof daily newspapers played a major role in forging federal manpowerpolicy in the early 1960s. The underlying assumption behind.eafly federallysponsored manpower programs was that struc- tural imbalances in, the labor market was amajor cause of unemployment. -Accord- ing to this theory',. automationand technological change had causedaldecrease "obsolete" in tae demand for unskilledlaborers, a displacement of workers with skills, and an increase in thedemand for skilled,workers in "new"occupations. fit The result was thousands of"square pegs" (unemployed workers) who could not P training and into 'found holes" (jobs). Thus what was' needed was a massive retraining program to prepare theunewloyed and underemployed to qualifyfor supporting evidence for the struc- "today's jobs." One of4the major pieces of tural theory of uhemploythent wasthe classified want-ad sections ofmajor newspapers. In city after city, regardlessof relatively high unemployment rites," the Sunday editions of newspaperscarried'as many as eight to ten pages of help wanted ads, many of themlisting job titles that did ndt evenexist 14 .one to five yearspreviously.

  • 2011 State of the News Media Report
    Overview By Tom Rosenstiel and Amy Mitchell of the Project for Excellence in Journalism By several measures, the state of the American news media improved in 2010. After two dreadful years, most sectors of the industry saw revenue begin to recover. With some notable exceptions, cutbacks in newsrooms eased. And while still more talk than action, some experiments with new revenue models began to show signs of blossoming. Among the major sectors, only newspapers suffered continued revenue declines last year—an unmistakable sign that the structural economic problems facing newspapers are more severe than those of other media. When the final tallies are in, we estimate 1,000 to 1,500 more newsroom jobs will have been lost—meaning newspaper newsrooms are 30% smaller than in 2000. Beneath all this, however, a more fundamental challenge to journalism became clearer in the last year. The biggest issue ahead may not be lack of audience or even lack of new revenue experiments. It may be that in the digital realm the news industry is no longer in control of its own future. News organizations — old and new — still produce most of the content audiences consume. But each technological advance has added a new layer of complexity—and a new set of players—in connecting that content to consumers and advertisers. In the digital space, the organizations that produce the news increasingly rely on independent networks to sell their ads. They depend on aggregators (such as Google) and social networks (such as Facebook) to bring them a substantial portion of their audience. And now, as news consumption becomes more mobile, news companies must follow the rules of device makers (such as Apple) and software developers (Google again) to deliver their content.
