30+ NATIONWIDE NEWSPAPERS ARE FOR SALE!!! Can you imagine if we pooled our $$ to buy them??

which is supposedly conservative, we get ultra liberal from the New York Times owned Spartanburg Herald or neo-conservative from the Gannett (USA Today) owned Greenville News.

It's sickening.

I would appreciate news representative of the area views, but its never going to happens as long as these ass clowns control the news.

I would definitely like to be involved in bringing back local ownership of newsprint to cities and/or the reporting of the truth that exposes government and corporate amerika's immoral and illegal behavior.

Remember when the media used to be called "a watchdog" - against gov't abuse and criminality. LOL. Now they are a watchdog to make sure the truth is covered up.

I’ll try to explain the newsprint problem in this country, so listen up!

The newsprint industry is failing not because they do not have a place in the US economy. All “local” businesses throughout this country rely heavily on the news print industry for their advertising needs. These businesses include dealerships, groceries stores, department stores, commercial outlets, etc., etc., just to name a few. It will be years before the Internet moguls can figure out a viable way to take their place. My guess, it could be decades.

Another issue people forget is weekend newsprint readership is almost double that of weekday reading. You better ask yourself WHY? I know why, because I'm one of millions of Americans around this country who still appreciate newsprint with a cup of coffee on a relaxing Sunday morning.

The BIGGEST reason subscription readership is down is very simple, free thinking people are very turned off by all forms of main stream news media outlets, including news print, regarding their liberal minded thought process.

As these newsprint companies lose subscriptions, they also lose advertisings revenues, whose fees are based on paper sales, not content.

Because these newsprint companies are out of touch with their constituents, they are loosing their advertising venues to other newsprint companies such as the nickel add industry. The newsprint advertising potential is still there, and will be for years to come.

What these bloated bankrupt liberal mogul newsprint companies are offering us is a decent reader base, at bankrupt prices for pennies on the dollar.

No one has truly attempted to merge both worlds, the newsprint media and the Internet media together as a new business model. Instead most are trying to do both at the same time. Or they have tried to make the Internet their sole business model, which does not and will not work for generating local advertising revenues.

My idea would be to see the newsprint media to merge itself into a true marriage with the Internet media. The business model would have newsprints only on Monday (the new week business adds), Wednesdays (supermarkets use mid week adds), and Friday (weekend add day) and Sundays of course for the leisure reader. This business model cuts out Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday newsprint expenses.

The Internet part of the business model would operate electronic news and advertising seven days a week. The Internet side of the business would advertise its newsprint service, and of the course the newsprint side would advertise its Internet service.

Such a business model would cut out as much as 40% or more of the material costs on the newsprint side alone. This savings would be in the millions per year, for a newspaper of this size.

By firing all the liberal reporters at this present newspaper media, which is nearly all of them, you would save millions per month in salaries alone.

This idea is very due able. It will take someone with real business skills, and can SEE the DREAM.

Remember, we would not be doing this to get a return on our money, but a return on OUR MESSAGE!

Restore the Republic, USA Tomorrow, get Alex Jones on TV,

Buy subscriptions and give them as gifts.

No, I do not work for any of these.

They are for sale for a reason: they are losing money.

We are on the media that killed them and we are going to either going to have to fight tooth and nail to stop the internet control they are pushing so hard for or.......................

We are going to have to build our own BACKBONE and be completely free of their system.

Revolt For Freedom !!!

trying to wake people up with publications (mine is monthly). We are a dying breed. Advertisements pay for a paper (subscriptions can as well-- but not as lucrative). Hello! Find your local guys and throw us some support! Most will print by request.. submit articles, letters to the editors.. but most of all BUY SOME ADVERTISING!! I have been using my publication for 20 months to wake people up and the BIG guys get all the advertising dollars!! STOP BUYING ADS WITH THE GANETT AND THE MAJOR CORP. PUBLICATIONS!! BUY SOME ADVERTISING FROM THE LITTLE GUYS WHO WILL PRINT YOUR SH*T!!!
Sorry, but come on!

I just escaped a layoff by the hair of my chinny-chin-chin.
Many of my coworkers didn't. Some were very hard workers.
Don't be completely fooled by the numbers being reported.
Neighborhoods still crave local news. Newspapers, most of which are owned by corporate entities, are not supplying this. The shots are being called from thousands of miles away.
Most papers are STILL making profits in the double digits. But are answering to shareholders, rather than their communities.

a locally owned\operated paper, can be successful.

What good is a newspaper? Let's buy the internets.

I am going to look into it locally..I will talk to a local newspaper owner I met recently!! If we owned some newspapers...lets think of which writers would be best to get articles from. We need to bring the internet news writers and stories, non- MSM spin news to people that do NOT get on the internet for news! This was one of our problems that we need to correct...we have a great online campaign ..but so many did not even know about it and still do not know!!!

Lets list the best writers of online newspapers across the country and blogs that could be regularly featured!

how much would something like this cost?
we raised 6 mil in a day..i know we've lost alot of people but it would be nice to see what we could even come up with...

A publication house with large presses for creating libertarian textbooks, news magazines, comic books, and so on.

Anyone interested?

With a good Money Bomb drive, the movement could buy ONE newspaper. I'd donate to that.

If we were able to organize an investment money bomb to purchase even one or two newspapers it would have a few tremendous effects:
1. We would have an outlet with a MSM nameplate. People are more trusting of newspapers with names like "Rocky Mountain News" as opposed to "End the Fed Daily".
2. By publishing honest, community centered newscoverage and pushing nation-wide subscription, we could possibly sustain redership of the print issue. (naturally, online is the future) which would get the attention of other newspapers.
3. If we had one of the major papers in a small state or congressional district, it could help set the stage electorally.
4. We could employ ourselves (I'd work cheap) rather than shills that take indoctrination from their editors adn corporate bosses.

I know print news is dying, but it will always be around in some form (The Economist and Time aren't going anywhere) and I think that, given the fact that the owners would be happy to trade a print newspaper for a ham sandwich these days, it might be a good investment. If it isn't, we try to survive on reader donations, like NPR claims to, until no one wants to read. Aint got nothin to lose but a few Federal Reserve notes.

Great idea.

Takes Money, though. I don't think a "Money Bomb" will cover it.

Why in the world would one want to buy a stake in an industry on deathwatch?

Online is the only way papers will survive.

Imagine a big "Money Bomb" effort to get the managing control of these Newspapers.

And, by having these newspapers address the type of real news, and the institutionalized attacks on our Republic, that TV will never confront, will then make these newspapers something that is "new" and powerful, and a great relevation to the people.

With them, we can finally educate and inform and instruct on a widespread level, and reclaim our Independence and National Sovereignty again.

They are becoming worthless. Dinosaurs.

More and more people are getting their info online than ever before.

I see your point, but am not sure on this one...
