Americans feel strongly about their hometown newspapers, the look of a news anchor, and their need for accurate weather reports. Stacker compiled a list of 40 fascinating facts about the news industry, consulting circulation figures, public opinion surveys, historical accounts, and, of course, media reports. In particular, it looked at how the industry has evolved, how its role is perceived, and the impact it has on everyday lives. News has been shaped by several colossal developments: the invention of the printing press in the 15th century, new mediums of dissemination like radio and TV, and—of course—the invention of the internet, which upended the ways of television, radio, newspapers, and magazines. Traditional methods of spreading and delivering news was jolted as more people read their news online and watched it in videos, and the consequences are still unfolding. Social media like Facebook and YouTube challenge factual reporting. Nearly 500 U.S. newspapers shut down between 1970 and 2018. More significantly, paid newspaper circulation peaked in 1987 at more than 62 million, then plunged by more than half to less than 28 million in 2018. The availability of free content has discouraged Americans from paying for news, even if its quality and standards are inferior to those of more established media that cost money. A study in 2018 found most Americans had not paid for news in the prior year. Throughout the decade ending in 2019, the number of newsroom jobs fell by 23%. Where there were some 114,000 reporters, editors, photographers, and camera crews working in newspapers, radio, cable, broadcast television, and digital outlets in 2008, the number dropped by some 27,000 jobs to 88,000 in those 10 years. But as the industry lurches and stumbles, along the way, men and women have made some remarkable contributions, putting their lives on the line for news stories that mattered. Here are some fascinating facts to ponder.

Issues like domestic abuse, addiction, financial hardship, eviction, disabilities, and mental illness can contribute to or cause an often sudden change in living situations that can leave adults, children, families, or veterans without shelter, food, or medical care. According to the National Alliance to End Homelessness, 567,715 people were homeless in 2019. Being that these are the most recent available numbers on a national level and that the COVID-19 pandemic has had a dramatic impact on the world’s population in 2020, those numbers could potentially be much higher in 2020 and 2021. Homeless individuals already suffer from chronic medical conditions at a rate much higher than housed individuals, and the pandemic has put the most vulnerable members of an already vulnerable population at greater risk. The issue of homelessness also has disproportionate effects on minority populations. LGBTQ youth experience one of the highest rates of homelessness, with 40% of individuals accessing services identifying as being LGBTQ. Much of the funding for state programs comes from federal grants provided by the United States Office of Housing and Urban Development. Though federal funds are accessed for services other than those that provide shelter as their primary resource, many homeless shelters, food banks, and free or low-cost medical clinics remain functional through multiple funding and staffing streams, including the utilization of volunteer workers, private donations, and corporate partnerships. Medical services in particular receive little funding from federal sources. Though there are ample phone numbers to call, from local 211 hotlines to national crisis centers, many homeless people experience challenges accessing resources, transitioning into programs—some of which have stringent protocols to maintain alcohol and drug abstinence—or participate in other treatment programs. Stacker compiled a list of resources in each state that help house and serve local homeless populations using a variety of government, private, charitable, nonprofit, and academic sources.
