“It’s clear that the mainstream media have lost interest in classical music. For example, the NBC network used to have its own classical orchestra conducted by Arturo Toscanini, but no such orchestra exists now. One newspaper, the no-longer-existent Washington Star, used to have thirteen classical music reviewers; that’s more than twice as many as the New York Times has now. H. L. Mencken and other columnists used to devote considerable space to classical music; nowadays, you almost never see it mentioned in a major column.” The primary issue here is whether the mainstream media have lost interest in classical music newspapers are employing fewer writers on classical music popular taste has turned away from classical music

The primary issue here is whether the mainstream media have lost interest in classical music

Explanation:

The main topic of the text is to show how the media was already very interested in classical music, since there were columns and articles on this artistic segment in all major newspapers, in addition to the fact that it was common for media outlets to have their own orchestra and specialized writers on that. However, that interest has been lost and today we do not see classical music being covered by press vehicles and not even being disseminated with the same frequency as before.

This can be seen in the first line of the text that states “It’s clear that the mainstream media have lost interest in classical music. "
