Why would anyone buy a newspaper? Either a single copy or an entire company neither makes any sense.

Advertising has moved on, and that was a major source of funds for newspapers.

Then the Media turned into a DNC operation. You cannot continuously antagonize half of your readership and stay in business.

But if a paper were to pay attention to the happenings of the world in a fair manner it could perhaps be saved and become of some value.

And apart from a large mortar and brick facility with excellent loading docks, what can you do with a print facility ?

I haven't bought a paper in over 15 years and I can't see any reason to ever buy another.

I HAVE seen maybe 3 or 4 in that time when visiting a friend or something.

I'd rather read the computer screen where I can enlarge the font for my weakening eyes.
