I reported on Monday that the Buenos Aires Herald, the only English-language daily newspaper in Latin America, was to become a weekly.
Why, asked an emailer, should we care what happens in Argentina? Leaving aside the chauvinistic rudeness, by recording what is happening in media elsewhere we are better able to perceive what the Herald rightly calls “a worldwide phenomenon”.
. . .
Then it touched on the likely result: “as many as 2,000 journalists may lose their jobs in the country in 2016, a staggering number which will damage the profession greatly”.
