> A couple of years ago some of the leading media companies in our country (Norway) started consolidating "power" by acquiring small local newspapers all over the country.

This sounds like it should be a pretty big story. "Extremely dangerous to our democracy." On the other hand, it also sounds like it wouldn't be.




The era of small local newspapers is long over. Its like saying buying all the libraries would be a threat to democracy.


If it were simply "over", there would be no need to buy them.


The Stranger begs to differ


Local newspapers are vital for towns/cities.

Sadly no one wants to buy the papers.
