🤔The News is a strange industry.

If every auto company owner stopped buying newspapers, the newspapers wouldn't even notice. That's only like, 1000 people. But if every auto company employee stopped buying newspapers, the industry would feel significant pain. That's over 2 million people.

And yet, UAW stories are framed from the perspective of owners, not employees? Tik-Tok and other social media coverage frames it from the perspective of employees.

And we wonder why paper sales are down.

If every auto company owner stopped buying newspaper *ads* the newspapers would definitely notice. Car companies are one of the biggest customers for ad-funded media. That's why we get such minimal reporting on environmental issues (esp. climate change), and why ad-funded media side with car company bosses.
