Maybe they realize the news business is in trouble and want an outsider?
Not likely. It has been a long time since publishers came from the news side and for about the same number of years newspapers have been suffering.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram mention Warren Buffett buying small community newspapers. Think there may be a link?
Yes, that's an interesting ad indeed. A sad commentary on the current state of affairs in American journalism. Any bean counter worth his salt ought to be able to turn out a good product, right? Mr. Buffett's heart is in the right place, but in the end he's only in the "game" for the money. Rick Nichols.
