Um bom exemplo do poder das palavras de um líder veio do Reino Unido. Tendo se recuperado de um caso grave de Covid-19, o primeiro-ministro Boris Johnson gravou um depoimento oficial lapidar: demonstra empatia com os doentes, apoio e admiração aos profissionais de saúde, louva o sistema público de saúde do país e conclama a população ao esforço coletivo necessário para enfrentar a tragédia.

It is no secret newspapers have been struggling. Circulation and ad revenue have been in a steady decline for decades. In 2018, U.S. newspaper circulation was at its lowest figure since 1940, the year when circulation information was first made available. According to the Pew Research Center, in 2018, daily newspaper circulation (print and digital) was an estimated 28.6 million for weekday and 30.8 million for Sunday. That was a drop of 8% and 9%, respectively, from the previous year. Not surprisingly, ad revenue has also fallen precipitously, from $37.8 billion in 2008, when the Great Recession began, to $14.3 billion in 2018, a 62% decline. Now, the coronavirus pandemic could be the death knell for many newspapers.

And can we do better?
The coronavirus pandemic has crippled America. So far, the virus has killed more than 20,000 people in the United States and has sickened more than 500,000 people.
It’s clear now that the US government was woefully unprepared for the pandemic, and that’s been reflected in its messaging to the public since the start.

Like James Harden careening into the paint, elbows and hips hunting for defenders to tag, publishers’ revenue leaders are doing whatever they can do to get points on the board.
Some publications are dropping the minimum spend once required to buy ads on their sites, while others have begun introducing discounts on programs; others have gone the other way, promising that a baseline amount of ad spending will deliver sales or business results. The scramble for revenue is on, and flexibility is the name of the game.
