How he attracts advertisers is key, and what niche will he serve? the WSJ base, or the NYT base? The Post, up here, has slimmed down considerably since CanWest bought it, and they can't comptete against the Globe and Mail, so Black will have to take on the Daily News full bore.And be prepared for a hard fight.

I agree advertising is the key but he must know something about the potential. The Globe was a long established paper and very complacent.He did shake up the business and did prove that a conservative audience does exist in Canada.I have not given up on the Post yet even with new owners. Mr Black has considerable funds for this venture and may have a plan for this to be national not just New York.
