The decline in the number of newspaper newsroom workers was the biggest contributor to an overall drop in newsroom employment in the United States, Pew said.
The overall number of employees working in newsrooms—newspapers, radio, cable and broadcast television and digital media outlets—fell 23 percent over the period, from 114,000 in 2008 to 88,000 in 2017.
