The failure to meaningfully attract new audience outside social media has been one of the biggest failures of news organisations in the age of internet.

It is also unfortunate that lesser number of people are willing to seek out news directly than before. I know very few people among younger generations who consumes news as a habit, like how people used to read newspapers or tune into TV news bulletins.
