Thanks for sharing your insight and tips! I've been noticing the crunch as a PR a lot over the last year, and it's been hard to deliver my clients the quality of content they've become accustomed to. It's frustrating because I want so badly to make them happy, but things are definitely changing. And I need to figure out how to better adapt!

Thank you for this. I'm worried for me and friends and colleagues. I see all of these affiliate pieces and wonder will there still be a place for non-product companies (non-profits doing good work, businesses addressing issues differently, etc.).

There will always be a place for good storytelling and building a narrative an audience can relate to/be inspired by. Focus on interesting founders' stories, experts in their field at these organizations with a unique point of view, and how the work is doing good in the community!

Wow, this was a scary eye-opener and so sad for an industry I have grown to love!! My heart goes out to those who lost their job, to the freelancers trying to get paid, and to the publicists/PR people trying to keep their hopes alive in this crumbling space.

Thank you for sharing and for providing your insight :)
