More not less

Katie makes a great point - it's not an issue that affects a tiny minority. All groups are harmed by consolidation and reduced access to information. I can't believe how few local papers there are in Texas and Oklahoma. Thanks wallercountytx. 4 dailies in a state like TX! That's not even what we should see in one county.

Local Papers in TX & OK

There is a misunderstanding about the number of local papers mentioned by IAN. Texas has many more than the 40 mentioned local papers owned by ACM. The ACM group was bought by MACQUARIE MEDIA.. a minor part of the Macquarie TOLL ROAD Infrastructure & BANKING Groups in order to silence the opposition voices in the PARTICULAR REGION where the first of the CORRIDORS is under development.
