How the Herald reported the death of Margaret Thatcher on 9 April 2013.

This looks into how Buenos Aires Herald are now firing full time journalists because of their struggle to stay on as a successful newspaper. They have changed from a daily to a weekly distributed platform. 

  • “as many as 2,000 journalists may lose their jobs in the country in 2016, a staggering number which will damage the profession greatly”
This could indicate that online news outlets have been preferred over the print platform because of its ease of access. Although it has made it more accessible, it has sacrificed the jobs of journalists which could also look into the negative impacts of New Digital Media.
