“The practical effect of the death of local journalism is that you get what we’ve had, which is a halcyon time for corruption and mismanagement and basically misrule,” David Simon, the famous Baltimore Sun alum and creator of The Wire, told me. https://t.co/tR4OR2Lj7Y https://t.co/sDNulFtyAV — PolitiTweet.org

The last thing I'll say for now is that I'm grateful for all the time local reporters—both those who've left Alden-owned papers and those who are still there—gave me while I was working on this piece. They're doing important (and often thankless) work, and deserve a lot of credit — PolitiTweet.org
