Summary
Explaining why newspapers are failing and how they can survive, this investigation examines the operations of eight locally owned newspapers and attempts to determine whether their different business methods might put them at an advantage. It analyzes how family owned newspapers can better fulfill the public's needs and those of democracy because they are fundamentally different operationally and philosophically from publicly owned newspaper companies.
