This doc investigating #aldenglobalcapital is playing in L.A. thru 10/10. The nation’s 3rd largest newspaper owner, Alden buys up local papers like those of @SoCalNewsGroup, lays off staff, and siphons off the remaining profits.

[Stripped For Parts Film @SForparts]

If you care about newspapers, see “Stripped for Parts,” Rick Goldsmith’s documentary about SoCal News Group owner Alden Global Capital and other vultures worsening the crisis in American local journalism, brave people fighting back, and reasons for hope.

[Stripped For Parts Film @SForparts]

Especially relevant right now when @SCNGguild just authorized the first strike against Alden Global Capital!

[Rebuild Local News @Rebuild_News]

A national registry built from the ground up is needed—one that @SarahStonbely says will give a clearer view of local journalism, informed by those who know their communities best. The result? A tool to guide news groups and policymakers with vital data.
