Nearly half of all newspapers changed ownership in the past 15 years, some more than once.
That's over half the people who traditionally buy newspapers - one more blow to an industry bleeding subscribers.
Democrat Mark DeSaulnier of California, who recently introduced the Saving Local News Act, which would allow newspapers to become nonprofits, recalls that 25 years ago local reporters were "Tough" and "Knew local politics inside and out." Now both quantity and quality have "Dwindled."
Unfortunately for the industry, few people want biased newspapers.
Newspapers are basically the same as they were 60 years ago.
Good local newspapers provide unique information and a special relationship with communities and individuals.
New York Times executive editor Dean Baquet predicted recently that "Most local newspapers are going to die in the next five years." He called it the "Greatest crisis in American journalism,".
