Advertising as a revenue source is no longer sustainable for news media. Coupled with changing media consumption behaviors (i.e. shifting to shortform socials and general avoidance of news), the news industry is in an increasingly precarious position.

BREAKING: CNN Philippines officially announces that it will stop news production operations starting today as a result of "serious financial losses" #NewsYouCanTrust

THREAD: CNN PHILIPPINES' FINAL MOMENTS CNN Philippines officially announced on Monday that it will cease its news and production operations. An hour before the announcement, studio and control room set up have been shut down

Much has been said about how much of a loss it is for local journalism, but on a personal level, this was my first regular media job and my home for 4 years. Thank you for the lessons and the memories and for the staff for always fighting the good fight.

Nine years of working for CNN Philippines started and ended on the website and our social media pages to deliver content that is fair, accurate, and balanced. Erased just like that. Allow me to grieve this loss.

Worked for CNN Philippines for over a decade. We tried our best to deliver news that’s fair, accurate, and balanced. I handled most of our social media accounts. And just like that, it’s all gone. We fought the good fight. I’m proud of what we accomplished.

Fuming. So many stories lost in an era of disinfo. WHY do everyone dirty like that by deleting everything with no public announcement? Why not just let it die naturally?! It's like CNN PH never existed. It makes everything worse for fact checkers, historians, students, EVERYONE

If you, a staff editor, assigned a story, it’s a basic professional expectation you’ll acknowledge receipt of it; edit it w/in weeks or explain a delay; deal with our revisions promptly, publish and pay. Yes, you’re overloaded but we meet our deadlines and the bills keep coming.
