Media
Perhaps it’s Philadelphia’s prominent role in forging a new nation that initially planted the take-no-prisoners mentality in its publications. Whatever the origins, that same boldness and uncompromising journalistic integrity still drives Philly’s publishing community today. Simply put, journalism here has attitude.
As in every city, media outlets here are changing and evolving constantly. What we do know is that all the media in Philadelphia—as in every major city—has faced new challenges in recent years from the Internet. Readers, viewers, and listeners get more information online every day, and no doubt the audiences for print, TV, and radio will pressure even more outlets to reinvent themselves.
