I can already hear the rumble coming from Amon Carter’s grave as he starts a turning.

AH Belo could buy up every newspaper in a 100 mile radius including the tiny coffee news and still not have a monopoly that mattered. Sure they’d control all ink on paper distribution in the area, but there are far too many alternatives to deliver local advertising. Even beyond the snark, the only thing that bringing all of the enterprises together would be more cost savings measures. The only thing that matters are more effective ways of making money from content that delivers value. Unfortunately it seems no newspaper has figured that out yet.

Or Sam Zell’s Tribune Co. should buy the S-T and team it with Channel 33. That would give him a strong media hold on the fastest-growing market in the country — Tarrant County, also known to D Magazine as “way out there past the Cowboys’ stadium”

I find it hilarious that Wick decries the “bean counting” ways of the S-T’s owners, when the very premise of his column is about ways to “save tons of money” while creating a monopoly on news … Wow. I guess writers daydream about the words and stories themselves, while publishers daydream purely about money.

It would be great for DMN to buy the FWST. Then Michael Landauer will have a new area to openly disregard journalistic ethics and promote political candidates. Just ask Joe Jaynes.

Any type of monopoly in media is a terrible idea. The best possible thing is maximum idea-diversity.A member of the media should definitely be aware of that already.

Come on, Not Me. If you’re going to take a shot, take a better one. Since D isn’t owned by Belo, it’s a near-monopoly. That’s all Wick said. Save the laughter for pictures of Eric/Tim.

I wish I had the money to buy the Telegram so I could buy billboards which would read…

“Forth Worth’s Newspaper is the S-T!”
