Frustrations Mount at Washington Post as Its Business Struggles

Billionaires Wanted to Save the News Industry. They’re Losing a Fortune. (New York Times)

 

This won't help:

 

What was news to you in that New York Times story?

 

Talk about a shit headline. Last I checked, Jeff Bezos still has quite the fortune, a 12-figure one.

One billionaire not in this story is Glen Taylor, who's kept the Star Tribune humming along pretty well since taking over. They've had some layoffs here and there of course but overall it still has a deep team and I just saw a bunch of ads for reporter's gigs at various spots across the state as they write more about the rural part of Minnesota. And the sports section remains fantastic.

This is good to learn. Full confession: Didn't know he owned the Star Tribune.
It would be cool if the Timberwolves won it all.

 

John Henry his wife has done some good things with the Globe. He's also done some bad things. Local ownership isn't a panacea.
