TownNews' IQ Audience+ sponsors an E&P vodcast to debate Alden's bid to overtake Lee ... a well-played irony.

I echo Gordon's desire to limit government involvement; however, to counter the market forces behind Alden's bid will require an act of altruism on the part of Lee's leadership or government intervention. In the matter of government intervention, I appreciate Steve's differentiation of trust-busting, as a means of facilitating constructive capitalism.

In recent years, we've certainly seen examples of altruism at play in local news media operations and strategic decision-making, but we've also seen many well-intentioned, family-legacy news media organizations rolled into various consolidations.

Gordon's assertion that local newspapers everywhere can realize untapped potential by expanding the range and nature of content delivery to enhance the level of engagement - in terms of audience and advertising - is very apt.
