It's a cliche at this point, but after a decade of covering politics I'm more convinced than ever that killing off these papers has serious consequences. When a local paper vanishes, polarization increases, voter turnout drops, misinformation proliferates. https://t.co/tR4OR2tHJo — PolitiTweet.org

I spoke to Freeman, and was struck by how little he seemed to care about Alden's journalistic reputation. At one point I asked him to name some recent stories from his papers that he especially liked (a softball!) and he declined to answer on the record. https://t.co/tR4OR2tHJo — PolitiTweet.org
McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins
According to the former executive, Heath Freeman, Alden's president, once suggested in a meeting that the firm's newspapers could get rid of all their full-time reporters and rely entirely on freelancers. (Freeman denied this through a spokesperson.) https://t.co/tR4OR2tHJo — PolitiTweet.org

Randall Smith, a pioneer of "vulture capitalism" in the 1980s, now owns multiple mansions in Palm Beach, where he is a major Trump donor. One of his earliest forays into the media sector was... revealing: https://t.co/tR4OR2tHJo https://t.co/xltBmySB1o — PolitiTweet.org

The men behind Alden are obsessively secretive. The firm's website contains no information beyond its name. One co-founder, Randall Smith, hasn't given an interview since the 1980s. Reporting on them was a deeply strange experience. https://t.co/tR4OR2Lj7Y https://t.co/6HGsZ1d0Ke — 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
McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins
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
McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins
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

@commiegirl1 @jdkstern13 I’m just assuming that a mandate would be the only way to get everyone to mask indoors during flu season (which seems like a reasonable assumption based on recent experience!) — PolitiTweet.org
McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins
As a side note, I continue to be fascinated (and depressed) by how much time doctors/scientists/public health experts devote to gaming out the politics and PR implications of their guidance. https://t.co/q54VrVbyfY https://t.co/8Dq4yMJ32f — PolitiTweet.org
McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins
I don't even necessarily think this is a bad idea. (And some of the other proposals in this smart @jdkstern13 piece make a lot of sense.) Just noting that many, if not most, Americans would probably find the idea of mandatory indoor masking every flu season less than ideal. — PolitiTweet.org

This is a good example of how epidemiologists might define "an ideal world" differently from most people. https://t.co/q54VrVbyfY https://t.co/NhxfHHWDVJ — PolitiTweet.org

Read @tmbejan on how the proliferation of "problematic" has led to "sloppy thinking and poor communication among scholars and students" and "divides audiences into in-groups and out-groups based on unstated, but assumed, commitments." https://t.co/Wvb62GBSOv — PolitiTweet.org

It really is amazing that in the year 2021 people are still calling things "problematic." I thought this fully crossed over into parody like seven years ago. https://t.co/Wvb62GBSOv — PolitiTweet.org
