Lukas I. Alpert / Wall Street Journal: Alden Global Capital Agrees to Buy Rest of Tribune Publishing
Washington Post: Tribune Publishing, owner of major U.S. newspapers, to be acquired by hedge fund known for slashing newsroom jobs
Jason Leopold / @jasonleopold: “The deal's success hinges on securing the votes of California biotech billionaire and Los Angeles Times owner Patrick Soon-Shiong, who owns about 24% of Tribune Publishing, and shareholder Mason Slaine, a former media executive who owns roughly 8%.” https://twitter.com/...
Ann Marie Lipinski / @amlwhere: Many are mourning the inevitable losses for journalists, and I do too. But the greatest price will be paid by the communities that are home to these Tribune Publishing newspapers. That cost is incalculable. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Michael Calderone / @mlcalderone: “Alden is the worst in the news business,” says Chicago city hall reporter @royalpratt after Tribune deal, adding: “But we are going to continue to fight for our newsroom and our journalism.” https://www.nytimes.com/...

Meg James / Los Angeles Times: Tribune Publishing proposes $630-million sale to hedge fund Alden Global Capital
Dan Froomkin / @froomkin: Tragic. My heart goes out to the staff at the Chicago Tribune; Baltimore Sun; Hartford Courant; Orlando Sentinel; South Florida Sun Sentinel; New York Daily News; Capital Gazette; The Morning Call; the Daily Press; and The Virginian-Pilot in Norfolk, Virginia. https://twitter.com/...
James LaPorta / @jimlaporta: Another blow to a profession that is critical in combatting the daily onslaught of misinformation. https://www.wsj.com/...
Elise Schmelzer / @eliseschmelzer: How does Alden have $431 million to buy up Tribune shares but not enough money to avoid furloughing/laying off its employees? https://twitter.com/...
Andrew Yang / @andrewyang: This includes the New York Daily News - new ownership should commit to preserve and expand newsroom jobs as part of the acquisition. We need more local reporters not fewer. https://twitter.com/...
K.C. Johnson / @kcjhoop: Beyond my personal feelings for what this place meant to me while growing up, while I proudly worked there for 29 years and while still subscribing now to the print product, this newspaper is essential to our city. It's filled with hard-working people who deserve local ownership. https://twitter.com/...
Will Oremus / @willoremus: A hedge fund best known for buying newspapers, laying off most of the journalists, and profiting off of their once-proud names while it runs them into the ground has just bought the Chicago Tribune, NY Daily News, and 6 other papers. https://www.wsj.com/...
@ssdance: “We've campaigned for this for the past year,” said @lizbowie. “I think the paper will be able to continue to hold the powerful accountable and tell the important stories of our community for another two centuries.” https://www.nytimes.com/...

Jaden Jefferson / @jaden_reports: The horrid decision-making by Alden Global Capital has made the newspapers they own weaker, which has hurt the communities they serve, and further led to the demise of incredible journalism. When given the opportunity, support local journalism: print, TV and radio. https://twitter.com/...
Matt Pearce / @mattdpearce: Horrible for Tribune Publishing, but sounds like a victory for @baltsunguild: “As part of the deal, Alden signed a non-binding term sheet to sell the Baltimore Sun to Sunlight for All Institute, a public charity formed by Stewart Bainum Jr.” https://www.chicagotribune.com/ ...
Tony Puricelli / @tonypuricelli: Scary day for Chicago media. Happy that at least Baltimore residents will have civic-minded owners at the helm of their largest news publication. https://twitter.com/...
Grace Toohey / @grace_2e: Horrible news for local news across the U.S., including in Orlando, with this takeover by Alden. However, if the sale of The Sun goes through, Baltimore would be spared.

Reid J. Epstein / @reidepstein: When I worked at Tribune-owned Newsday, Sam Zell visited Melville and told us: “There's no question Newsday owns Long Island.

Osman Faruqi / @oz_f: It's nice the government exists merely as vessel to facilitate the transfer of money from one huge corporation to another. Must be a bit awkward to be one of those who thought this media code was going to “disrupt the monopoly power of Google”. https://www.smh.com.au/...

Ideologically extreme members of the US House get more national cable and broadcast TV time than moderates do, helping stoke TV ratings and conflict — Committee assignments are normally a blessing for new House members. But some of today's newer members, like freshmen Republican …
Discussion:
Joshua P. Darr / @joshuadarr: Punditry over policy. Comms over committees. Media coverage is the currency of today's Congress, and the most divisive voices reap the rewards. We analyzed 46,218 TV news transcripts & found that extreme ideologues get more airtime: https://theconversation.com/ ... (@ConversationUS)
Lulu / @lourdesgnavarro: As the article suggests much has to do with the demise of local news, and much with the business model of news. I hope this causes some self reflection. https://www.niemanlab.org/...
Hannah Allam / @hannahallam: “We found that the House that's shown on the news is much more ideologically extreme than the actual House. When we divided representatives into 5 equal groups by ideology, we found that the most extreme groups on each end of the political spectrum were most often given airtime.” https://twitter.com/...
@niemanlab: “We found that the House that's shown on the news is much more ideologically extreme than the actual House.” https://www.niemanlab.org/... https://twitter.com/...
Karen Francisco / @kfrancisco: “Instead of shaping policy that would help them locally, politicians focus on burnishing their national profiles, either through winning coverage on national cable and broadcast news or by boosting their social media followings.”
Logan Molyneux / @loganex: Because traditionally, deviance and extremism are the very definition of news. Is it even possible to change that? It's meant to be one of society's ways of reinforcing norms (the bad guys get punished). But maybe that doesn't work anymore? https://www.niemanlab.org/...
Anne Godlasky / @annieisi: “Instead of shaping policy that would help them locally, politicians focus on burnishing their national profiles, either through winning coverage on national cable and broadcast news or by boosting their social media followings.” https://www.niemanlab.org/... via @NiemanLab

Debasish Roy Chowdhury / @planet_deb: Interesting research from the US on how media attention incentivises extreme positions on part of public officials. If political parties equate media buzz with success, as parties often do, rogue politicians are much better placed to succeed https://www.niemanlab.org/...
Michael Calderone / @mlcalderone: Speaking of, new research shows “today's new House members understand that media coverage will help them achieve their goals, and that expressing extreme ideas is one way to earn it.” https://www.niemanlab.org/...
@eric_a_anderson: No s*** story of the day: 46,218 news transcripts show ideologically extreme politicians get more airtime https://www.niemanlab.org/... @laurenboebert didn't need a study to figure this out.
Mary Ellen Klas / @maryellenklas: Media exposure is currency. Now, researchers have proof that when a politician - state and national - is more ideologically extreme, he/she gets more coverage, especially on television. Brace yourselves for 2022. It also explains FL now. Good read: /thread https://theconversation.com/ ...
Karen Francisco / @kfrancisco: “Then there's social media, which allows politicians to bypass reporters and editors. Rather than merely hoping reporters publish their quotes, representatives can tweet and post whatever they like, reaching large audiences of supporters and donors.” https://www.niemanlab.org/...
@dc43: “Extremely conservative and extremely liberal legislators receive far more airtime than their moderate counterparts. ... Sticking out from the crowd can elicit attention from media outlets seeking to highlight controversy in order to attract viewers.” https://www.niemanlab.org/...

I don't cape for WW, but that took integrity. https://twitter.com/...
