I don't know what kind of circles you keep, but print/mainstream media still has an impact and matters. It's why most companies and organizations still monitor what is being said in the news and why there are so many PR firms these days. It's also why some politicians have chosen to attack mainstream media - if it's irrelevant in the grand scheme of things, why waste the time?
The people who only receive their news from Instagram or Facebook tend not to vote period or are part of the angry fringe.
