They are still dependent on the revenue that their current audience makes possible. It is not such an easy decision for many of them to walk off the cliff.

The best way to encourage them to slow down and stop their activity on that platform is to increase engagement with their content on other platforms. Right now the best effort I have seen supporting this goal is linked below. By simply posting content from RSS feeds from several existing news orgs it is demonstrating that there is an audience here which is worth the effort to expand beyond legacy platforms.

You could use your reach on this platform to organize an effort to educate reporters, staff writers and editors about Mastodon and all of the features it offers and how to bring their audience with them. I suggest running a monthly event to message news orgs to invite them to get started.
