Alden has figured out how to profit by driving its papers into the ground: Gut the staff, sell the real estate, jack up subscription prices, and wring as much cash as possible out of the enterprise until readers bolt and the paper shrivels or folds. https://t.co/tR4OR2Lj7Y — PolitiTweet.org

You probably feel like you already know why local news is dying. Craigslist killed the classifieds, Google/Facebook swallowed the ad market, and hapless newspapers failed to adapt to the internet. There's truth to all that—but the Alden story is different. https://t.co/tR4OR2Lj7Y — PolitiTweet.org

“They call Alden a vulture hedge fund, and I think that’s honestly a misnomer," one former Chicago Tribune reporter told me. "A vulture doesn’t hold a wounded animal’s head underwater. This is predatory." https://t.co/tR4OR2Lj7Y — PolitiTweet.org
