How to make video games journalism, or journalism in general (mostly written) profitable?

[Pingal Pratyush]

Google and Facebook have conquered the advertisement market. YouTube has been leading the online free-to-all video market. So, how is it that journalists will earn?

Massive layoffs are happening at major media companies and many journalists are losing their jobs everyday. So, does this mean, written journalism is not required anymore?

Is this an end for news articles? What do journalists do? How to pivot? How to adapt?

Easy. Journalists are moving TO those platforms. YouTube, Google AdSense and Facebook Pages. Social media is key.

In my experience, profits for stuff I run have been increasing, but then again I don't own a multi-million dollar company with huge costs.
