It was in the late 1980's. I was delivering newspapers for a major media organization back then and I remember the following, rather revealing, event.
A mid-level manager who had just come back from a big meeting at the main office held his own little meeting at our branch office. As is frequently the case after a rah, rah, meeting such as he had just attended, he was very excited and freshly motivated. During the course of the meeting, he excitedly made the comment that, "newspapers are not written for the customer. They're written for the advertisers."
I subsequently noticed a steady decline in newspaper content right up until several years ago when I stopped reading newspapers altogether.
