    DCLaw1 and William Timberman give much better answers than I could. I will add that entertainment will always always sell more than journalism. Celebrity, gossip, boobs and things blowing up* are hard to compete with. The good thing is that journalism and entertainment only compete in the minds dwindling number of "Journotainers" and aging media executives.

    Journalism competes with entertainment as much as science does.
