This showcases how Buenos Aires Herald are making their journalists redundant due to  

their struggle to stay on as a successful newspaper. They have changed from a daily to a weekly distributed platform. 

• “as many as 2,000 journalists may lose their jobs in the country in 2016, a staggering number which will damage the profession greatly”
•  That was a reference to the paper’s defiance of the brutal regime in the 1976-83 period by reporting on its abductions of people who came to be known as “the disappeared”

I believe that this symbolizes that new and digital media has shaped the way in which we consume our media and how its affecting large news print companies. It illustrates how print media is dying. This has a negetive impact on journalist and those studying to be one as there will be less jobs being offered.
