J.B.

 Jimmy Breslin died in 2017. 

Journalism... died with him. 


















His old publisher, The Herald Tribune, is no more. 

The staff of any given paper now is reduced 

to about 10% of what it used to be. 

His style - reporting news with, 

in essence, the tools of a novelist - 

proved to be inefficient when it came time to 

save a medium that lost its readership 

to social media...
