Strong job numbers have been prevalent over the last two years, but one industry has been seeing sharp declines as layoffs and buyouts continue to rise. That industry is the media in which major players have been dropping jobs at alarming rates.
Buzzfeed, Verizon, Gannett, Vice Media, and McClatchy are among the news outlets that have been cutting staff in the last few weeks. Just over a month into the new year, over 2,100 journalists have been displaced. Entire publications, such as the Weekly Standard, have closed down.

My Take
It’s ironic that as President Trump continues to call out the media, many who have been the most critical of him are the ones losing jobs. But this is very likely not a causality scenario. Instead, it’s more likely a testament to the changes that have been happening for the last two decades as the internet continues to change the way media is ingested.
Moreover, the models through which media companies can make money are drastically shifting at a rapid pace. This site, for example, has struggled to monetize, which is why we’ve turned to our audience to support the site’s frugal model.
The writing is on the wall for journalists. As it becomes harder for news outlets to turn a profit, those in the media should consider alternative revenue streams. There are those at the top, and the rest of us are on the bottom, one bad turn away from joblessness.
New Conservative Network Seeks Crowdfunding Help
They say we have to go big or go home. We’re trying to go big and bring the patriotic truth the the nation, but we need help.
Readers may or may not realize that over the past year, we’ve been bringing more conservative news and opinion outlets under our wing. Don’t take our expansion as a sign of riches; all of the “acquisitions” have been through sweat and promises of greater things to come for all involved. As a result, we’ve been able to bring together several independent media sites under a unified vision of preventing America from succumbing to the progressive, “woke,” Neo-Marxist ideologies that are spreading like wildfire across America.
The slow and steady reopening of America is revealing there was a lot more economic hardship brought about from the Covd-19 lockdowns than most realize. While we continue to hope advertising dollars on the sites go up, it’s simply not enough to do things the right way. We are currently experiencing a gap between revenue and expenses that cannot be overcome by click-ads and MyPillow promos alone (promo code “NOQ” by the way).
To overcome our revenue gap and keep these sites running, our needs fluctuate between $3000-$7000 per month. In other words, we’re in the red and hemorrhaging.
The best way you can help us grow and continue to bring the truth to the people is by donating. We appreciate everything, whether a dollar or $10,000. Anything brings us closer to a point of stability when we can hire writers, editors, and support staff to make the America First message louder. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal as well.
As the world spirals towards radical progressivism, the need for truthful journalism has never been greater. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report and the other sites in the network going.
Thank you and God Bless,
