It argues that journalism has a problem--just like everybody else.
Journalism specifically has a crisis because, as an industry, they have spent far too much of their credibility in service to narrative. A tainted product sheds customers, and here you are.

The vocation crisis in journalism is being driven by economics. Papers sold classified ads, broadcast television sold commercial spots, and this was profitable because it was difficult to replicate the distribution systems (as in the music industry.) Now the FAANG companies have captured the ad revenue because they own the distribution, and those companies (so far) don't seem interested in investing in quality journalism.
This is unlike the entertainment industry, where Amazon and Netflix have become content producers to some extent. They did this because they realized they could get more money by creating entertainment content.

The public's trust in journalism has cratered because they became activists instead of journalists. It's fascinating and telling that the article avoids this issue completely, not mentioning trust once.
