“They call Alden a vulture hedge fund, and I think that’s honestly a misnomer. A vulture doesn’t hold a wounded animal’s head underwater. This is predatory.” theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…

Corporate ownership of local newspapers has been proven to sacrifice reinvestment for quarterly profit margins. In return, the papers receive harsh layoffs, pay reductions, and furloughs. We can't let this happen to The Baltimore Sun. We must #SaveOurSun

*45%* of newsroom jobs were cut from 2008-2017, and COVID-19 ravages them further. The overwhelming majority of these were directly due to corporations imposing layoffs, furloughs, and pay cuts. We must #SaveOurSun to ensure this doesn't happen to our Baltimore Sun.

Baltimore's paper should be in Baltimore. We must #SaveOurSun to reinvest profit back into the paper instead of throwing it at an out-of-town corporation. Join us today: saveourbaltimoresun.com

Is it even possible to #SaveOurSun from corporate ownership? Take it from The Chicago Reader: "On Jan. 1, the paper’s ownership will transfer an Illinois nonprofit, meaning the Reader will have tax-exempt status and can receive tax-deductible donations." chicagotribune.com/business/ct-bi…
