And over the years, its dominance has only increased, with 1 out of every 12 US newspaper jobs based in Manhattan in 2025, according to an analysis by Bloomberg columnist Justin Fox.<\/p>\n<p>Among all US states, New York has not only earned the reputation of being the country\u2019s media capital but also that of the world.
