From the supplier: In-depth news coverage has suffered because newspapers have started relying more on fanciful features and superficial trimmings, such as color photos and charts, rather than solid news coverage. Recession was used as an excuse for downsizing of staff and reliance on props but in truth it is the corporate mentality of quick profits that has caused the changes. The decrease in competition resulting from a concentration of newspaper ownership has made newspapers take their readers for granted. However, without substantial news reporting no newspaper can build a loyal readership and this will hurt them in the long-run.
