“This is the mid-year witching hour for the U.S. daily press, another stirring of the consolidation pot, and another stage in the transformation of newspapers from civic assets to financial instruments. “

HAH!

Rather: “This is the mid-year witching hour for the U.S. daily press, another stirring of the consolidation pot, and another stage in the transformation of newspapers from civic assets to one-sided, internationally-owned (Soros-Rockefeller-Gates-Amazon-Google-Chinese-Saudi) global propaganda instruments with NO local input or writing or editorial control! “

We need newspapers, to report about government corruption.

My canary is clutching her pearls looking for her fainting perch; what will she do without those papers to poop on?

Even the news websites are annoying - popup videos (with ponderous music), blockers, paywalls, etc.

Only to have to read anti-American opinion pieces masked with a smattering of content, and no comment sections.

The physical papers are a joke - prices rising and getting thinner and thinner.

I can only imagine their age demographics are deteriorating as well.

It’s an outdated model whose economic model is to be propped up by lib deep pockets.

Non-profit newspaper chain??? I don’t like the sound of that. Sounds like something that would be ripe for money laundering.

The local rag is a Tribune paper. I hope to see it go under real soon. I think the future of leftist rags is to be artificially supported by insane leftists, such as bezos and his washington post rag.

Yeah, the problem with their profitability is all around their tax burden.

“setting up the country’s first major nonprofit newspaper chain”

I guess that would be an improvement from the standard negative-profit business model.

Tribune and McClatchy liars telling lies.
When a paper reports with bias it fails as a paper.

I started reading newspapers when they cost a dime.

I stopped when the price reached a quarter.

News-PAPERS?
I never buy newspapers anymore. The only way that would change is if the Chinese started fiddling with the grid and disabled the internet for a good while.

The only news source I support is FR. I haven’t read a newspaper in ages.

So avoid viewing any of the Tribune and McClatchy sites for a couple of days. They’re evil.

The Tribune owns the oldest paper in the USA. The Hartford Courant was a good paper (the Republican paper with the Hartford Times as the Independent/Dem paper), but when the Tribe bought the paper (from local owners) it got ruined...

The local Tampa Bay Times is non profit. What a rag...
