Denver Post Launches Public Revolt Against Its Hedge-Fund Owner
---------------------------------------------------------------

The Denver Post has launched a revolt against its owner: New York-based
hedge fund Alden Global Capital. On Sunday, The Denver Post's editorial
board published a lead editorial headlined "As vultures circle, The
Denver Post must be saved." In the piece, editorial page editor Chuck
Plunkett writes, "If Alden isn't willing to do good journalism here, it
should sell The Post to owners who will." The move came after The Denver
Post announced in March that it would cut another 30 jobs from an
already-depleted newsroom. We'll have more on this story later in the
broadcast.
