For sale: One embattled, but scrappy, newspaper

Hello everyone,

The Guild’s own, Mike Mullen, at City Pages wrote a wonderful story this week about our valiant members at the St. Paul Pioneer Press who are working hard to find a buyer for the state’s oldest newspaper.

Here’s the link: www.citypages.com/news/the-plot-to-save-the-pioneer-press-from-its-hedge-fund-owners-8249721

And take a look at the Guild’s national campaign against Alden Global Capital, the New York hedge fund that owns the Pi Press and dozens of other newspapers nationwide. It’s at www.dfmworkers.org. Great stuff here, please support the effort. Hedge funds should not own newspapers.
