Denver Post Rebels Against Its Hedge-Fund Ownership

By SYDNEY EMBER | Apr 8th 2018

Facing the loss of more than two dozen newsroom jobs, the beleaguered newspaper is printing an editorial blasting Alden Global Capital: “We call for action.”

Local newspapers have been collapsing for more than a century.
I was taught to call them "the gun wad".  National and world

News is a business. 
It is profitable or it is bankrupt. 
The remaining profit center is political advertising.
Political news does not require journalists.
The Denver Post is among the walking dead.

Unsatisfactory is the proper descriptor.
