News industry in the U.S. - statistics & facts

The U.S. news industry has changed immensely over the last decade. Tech, telco, and entertainment giants and social media platforms have increasing influence and now outrank even major news-focused companies in terms of revenue derived from news and information. The estimated revenue generated by news syndicates has not amounted to more than 1.5 billion U.S. dollars since 2016.

When it comes to legacy media, newspapers have been hit particularly hard.
