Good riddance. When I was in college, the bottom tenth percentile of my class was in Journalism/Com Arts, so I was never surprised at the low quality of their work product. As anyone who has watched academia knows, they have become incubators of wokeism, and uniformity of progressive thought is strictly enforced. So when I used to read the paper, I would get annoyed by the slant/bias of the stories, to the point where just about every page had a story that misreported the news instead of enlightening people. Eventually we dropped our subscription, and I don't miss it one bit. In my situation, the ludicrous part was that my parents were convinced it was garbage, too, but their reason was that the stories were not always in lock step with MSNBC, which was proof it was "controlled by right-wing corporations." Because or printing and delivery deadlines, the news was often "old news" by the time we read it anyways, d/t smart phones, computer, or TV/radio.
