Huffington lists job losses: No. 7 is news media

Huffington Post  this week  posted a feature on the 10 industries expected to suffer the biggest job loss in the coming decade. Naturally news media  ranked high –Number 7with an anticipated 25 per cent drop in jobs to 245,000 by 2020.

For example, fewer postal carriers will mean no Saturday delivery; decline in gas station attendants who no longer pump gas, clean windshields or check oil as it is; fewer department store clerks - Ever try to find help or pay for something? The list goes on and on.
