I suspect that, like a lot of industries, experienced staff (particularly regarding warfare) in journalism have now either retired, been let go or decided to move on because they don't care for the sloppy way that things are done now (or for a pay cut).
Inexperienced (cheaper) younger staff are often used across industries these days. It's labelled as being more efficient, but you get what you pay for and it shows. Our local newspaper is full of spelling mistakes, grammatical errors and, barely researched, fluff articles.
