Not to mention the digital platforms that often blur distinctions between journalism and other forms of content (including information sponsored by interest, influencers, propaganda from foreign states, etc.) and provide people with limited signals to distinguish between reported news and other material.

As COVID-19 exacerbates the fragility of journalism, “The working group on the sustainability of journalism” launched by the Forum on Information & Democracy aims to identify and define concrete policy changes in the regulation or in off market solutions to ensure the sustainability of independent news organizations.
