Larry Ryckman discusses the devastating fact many newspaper networks are falling into hedge-fund hands. Although, more and more newspapers are spiraling down this rabbit hole it has also created the opportunity for more digital startups to offer an alternative. As readers and consumers, we have the ability to put effort and money into locally owned, reader-focused journalism. I believe readers have most if not all of the control toward these hedge-fund corporations. "Many of these conversations with aspiring media entrepreneurs will quickly turn toward tax status" says Ryckman in his talk to help those understand journalism is not only about the profits. Alongside the influence for-profit, he supports non-profit where it makes sense and, in the case, to serve your readers with quality journalism.
